Kids Kaskara?

An old blade, quite thick and stiff, with a fuller which is forged rather than ground and has seen a great deal of sharpening and wear.

Only 24" so shortened at some time and, unusually for a kaskara, reinforced (beneath the langets) on each side with riveted strips which go into the hilt - a new tang, perhaps?

The scabbard, even down to its aluminium chape, is very similar to:

Your comments, as always, are most welcome...

Nice one! It needs a good cleaning though. :) Here is one that I have had for a while also a boys sword.

...your famous Andrea Ferrara kaskara? I was hoping it would be posted :)

The one I posted from this thread;

fits the child category. It does not show signs of having been shortened, it appears to have been made this way.
