The fuller seems alittle odd in that as the blade curves, the fuller looks as if it wanted to continue in a straight line and not follow the curve of the blade. The curve isn't progessive or smooth. I agree with Puff the tip seems to have been re-forged, it would explain why the fuller is missing from the tip, as it was hammered/polished out. The handle also looks as if , at some time, it could have had a hand guard? Since removed and the handle ' Africanised'.
