Description:

Measuring 24 1/2 inches overall with a 19 1/2 inch straight single fuller diamond cross-section blade, no makers marks are present. The overall construction of the fittings is of pale green stone with white inclusions (note: no scratch test performed), which is then fitted with silver panels and rings. The guard is round carved stone, with a silver panel on the top and raised carvings of the eight Chinese bagua on the underside, with the silver grip collar and pommel cap painted with polychrome enamel to make scroll and floral patterns. Similar enamel accents are present on the scabbard, with a series of 12 rings, a small floral tip accent and the throat, with an assortment of semi-precious stones in silver wire fittings and a three dimensional dragon head devouring a moon, which doubles and a mounting point for a pair of suspension bars.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The blade shows a gray patina with brown spotting and mild handling marks. The stonework is very good, with a thin repaired crack through the guard, and the silver shows a fine dark color overall with a few bright spots and handling marks.
