A large pira

Dave,

Thanks for posting. These are always so nice to see because not only are they rare but it is becoming clearer that there are variations in size, hilt form, and scabbard type.

Could you please post a pic of the complete blade, perhaps with the scabbard beside it.

Do you think the pommel may have been cut down from something much longer originally, perhaps to make it a more practical utilitarian piece??

Thanks again for posting. Lovely example!
