Offered is a South East Asian sword from (I believe) either Cambodia or Vietnam. Overall the sword measures 30 1/2" with a 22" blade. The blade is 1/2" thick at the guard and tapers evenly to the tip. There are definate signs that the blade is of folded construction. Hilt appears to be of iron and wire wrapped. The piece of rag thru the ring is as found. The pierced guard is 2 3/4" diam. There is a scabbard with it which does fit OK, but is not in my opinion the original one.
Asking US$165 including Airmail postage worldwide, or would consider a trade for something from the Arabian Peninsula.
Payment by PAYPAL only thanks.
