It's 33 inch long with a silver mounted hilt inlaid with bands of woven silver and copper. The blade is reasonably heavy with good balance and the silver and copper koftgari features designs of a hare , a deer and a cockerel. It shows no signs of actual use and would presumably have been made as a presentation piece . Scabbard also in good condition but possibly missing a few silver or copper bands .

Any comments please .
