Description:

Measuring 48 inches overall, the sword features a 36 inch blade with a spear point and a diamond cross section for most of the length, showing more of a lozenge profile near the base. The cruciform pattern guard measures 10 1/2 inches across, with a hexagonal profile to the ends of the quillions. Fitted with a smooth oval cross section grip of one-piece hardwood construction and a round iron pommel. Overall weight is 3 pounds, 15.8 ounces. Time and location of manufacture is unknown.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The blade shows a mixed gray/brown patina, with scattered light pitting, a few grain cracks near the base, and nicks along the edge. The guard and pommel show a darker brown patina, with similar age and wear. The grip is loose, with chips and cracks, as well as some play between the guard and pommel. Overall metal fit is solid.
