Something else I've had for awhile. Horn grip with steel ferrell. Leather scabbard missing end. Blade taper ground on both sides. Supposed to have been brought back after the Spanish American War. The blade has "A Souvenir P." stamped into the blade that looks like it was done with a cold chisel. Also has IIIXIII carved into the spine of the blade at the hilt. I forgot to take a picture of this area. Was this a common practice at the turn of the century or is the from the second WW? It seems to well made and heavy to be just a tourist piece. Comments please.
Blade length 18-3/4" Blade at widest 1-9/16" Blade thickness at hilt 3/8" Hilt length 6-1/2" Robert |
