Old Shashka bladed Bedouin Sword for sale

Bedouin tribal sword with Shashka style hilt and blade.

The grip is riveted to the blade tang with two rivets. The scabbard is covered with hide and has a steel throat with design to it. Slightly shrunk with age at the drag.

The piece is 93cms tip tip tip, the blade is 81 cms but the hilt covers 1cm of this. There is a very nice broad fuller running up the middle of the blade and stops 16cms from the tip. there is another fuller that is 42cms long that sits towards the spine and in the middle of the length of the blade. There is a nice false edge to the back of the blade that is 16cms long.

A very interesting and scarce sword complete with original scabbard.
