Hello.
I picked this up about a year ago with a big collection of Philippine and Indo Persian blades, and I'm still not even close to figuring out what it is. The overall length is 45 1/2" with the Oryx horn accounting for just under 31" of the total measurement. The blade is about 5/16" above the brass section, and the hook measures just under 3" from the point to the back edge. There is a small wc painted on the blade toward the horn which is barely legible, so I know that it was from Western Costume quite a few years back, as some of the other pieces in the collection had the wc mark as well. I'm sure that the hooked blade is old, but does anyone know if the horn was added or if it is original to this piece? Any help would be appreciated. Best regards, Joe |
