Default Interesting Okir

Roy, thanks for the post.
This is one if the group, definitely. The Okir design is one I have not seen before. How does the sword handle? In my experience these weapons are very well balanced.

I can't really make out the name and I don't think it matches the names you have listed, but it's a nice piece anyway.

it looks like ? JIKR with a date below of 1911 and ?

Photos aren't good but feel free to use them if you like.

Hilt is horn with brass fittings. Scabbard is wood and brass.
Frog is unmarked but presumably nicked from a military weapon.
O/a length is 26.5 inches
Blade length 20.25 inches
Blade thickness is 0.25 inch.

Regards
Roy
