Description:

Measuring 46 1/2 inches overall with a 39 inch blade, unsharpened, lozenge cross-section for most of the length, with a rectangular ricasso and single fullers. No maker's markings are present. The guard bars extend halfway up the ricasso, with a 9 3/4 inch long straight cross guard, wire wrapped grip and a tapered cylindrical pommel.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The metal shows an aged mixed-gray patina with some shallow pitting, patches of brown and mild handling marks. The wire wrap is loose, otherwise the fit of the hilt components to the blade is solid, and the point of balance is just ahead of the guard.
