Description:

37 3/4 inches overall, with a 31 3/4 inch curved triple fuller blade with a 7 3/4 inch false edge on the flared tip, a fullered and reduced spine, and a set of untranslated markings inside the fullers on the lower third of the blade. The hilt is gold koftgari decorated, with scroll and floral patterns on the knuckle guard, front quillion, and dual rear quillions, with a floral engraved copper collar on the smooth hardwood grip, which shows an "L"-shaped profile and a deep groove for the little finger. The scabbard is covered from tip to throat in nickel silver plates, which in turn are engraved and repoussed with beaded and banded designs near the throat and plant motifs the rest of the way down, with a pair of suspension rings and a pierced-through accent at the tip. Included with the sword is a modern display stand, about 33 inches long with a thick brass body and a set of blackened brass legs with some gold accents.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The blade shows a well aged mixed gray patina, with some mild spotting and handling marks, with a deeper brown on the guard and over 60% of the original gold koftgari. The grip is very good, with a few mild scuffs, and the scabbard shows some minor handling marks. The display stand has one of its feet detached (but included) and is otherwise good.
