The hilt is ivory with a worked gold ferrule. The blade is beautifully forged, quite heavy, showing a laminated pattern, a reinforced (Moro shandigan style) edge, and finely chiseled bolster. The scabbard is new. Dimensions: 25in. overall, with a 18.5in. blade, and 2.5in. at its widest point. Attached Images Last edited by CharlesS; 24th January 2014 at 07:25 PM.
