PIRA

Hello Friends,

A gift from my father. Said to be one of the rarest form of the Moro pira/swords.

The horn hilt- in the shape of a cockatoo's head(pommel) with a long pommel
extension. (brass ferrule).

Scabbard: the upper part which forms as a lock(see pic). With some engravings and made of wood (unknown).

OAL: 37.25" (to the tip of the elongated pommel)/ Blade: 19.25"

My father said that it took him 47 years to find one in this form.

A very Merry Christmas to all!

Salud,

Yves
