Description:

Measuring 50 3/4 inches overall with a 43 1/4 inch double edged diamond cross-section blade and a 2 1/2 inch rectangular cross-section ricasso. No maker's markings are present with a fine steel hilt, 10 inch wide "S" profile cross guard, cord wrapped grip and an egg-shaped pommel.

Rating Definition:

Good. The steel shows a mixed brown patina and mild pitting overall with a small chip absent from the tip and mild edge dings. Some play is present in the wrap; otherwise, the hilt is rock solid on the blade which shows good balance and an almost spring-like level of flexibility and ductility.
