[Gavin Nugent]

A Kilij type that usually has a shamshir type blade profile rather than the raised yelman seen on this example.
Silver dress with gilded edges and grip strap, Rhino hilt and original silk and bullion baldric still retaining leather covering in places, leather most likely added for use in a campaign or travel as I'd think the silk and bullion thread would not be covered otherwise but would like to hear from others on this point.
The blade shows a good bold pattern and despite a couple of ugly blemishes that will polish off in an instant, it is free from any pitting. Unsigned but of very good quality and still damn sharp.

I hope it is found to be of interest in its completeness and I look forward to comments, questions, further discussion or other examples.
