Good Afternoon All
Thought I'd share with you my latest addition.
My initial feeling is its 20th Century.
The blade is big measuring 36inch but pretty flexible until you get to thr part where lines have been cut or forged into the blade. Fuller runs length of the blade.
Not sure why the markings have been cut into the fuller but also not sure if the handle has been repaired with the metal work or was made like that?
Scabbards seen better days as you can see and appears to be constructed with a fiberious wood, cloth and leather covered over the top of it.
Comments welcome.
