Ian,
Thanks for the extra info. Some of the "pir-rung's" age is hidden by restoration to the blade, and a newly made scabbard. The patination to the hilt's wood is dramatic and lovely, and may not really expose itself in the pics. Blades of this thickness are rarely encountered post-1945, so certainly I'd say early 20th at least, and maybe late 19th Cent. |
