Bullfighting sword

[fernando]

A real old authentic torero estoque ... not a tourist replica.
Blade marked ... so is scabbard.
More pictures or other details available.
180 euros or some interesting swap.

Does this have the triangular cross section downward curving blade?

[fernando]

Yes. Actually a lozenge ( diamond ) cross section, downcurving in the last section ( muerte ). With some dificulty, due to the lousy pictures, both blade ridge and muerte curve, can bee seen.
It is highly probable that this piece saw a good deal of action; The leather pommel is well worn from the user's palm, the spine stitching of the polished leather scabbard is broken some four inches at mid section, naturally from frequent ( curved ) sword unsheathing and, before i cleaned it, the chape had some earth stuck to it, i imagine from being leaning upright against the arena barrier, waiting for its timely use.

Sold.
