Yet another maasi seme

it's here: shown with my other seme (i have a smaller red scabbard flat blade version somewhere too) grip appears to be wound cord of some unknown mtls. and covered with a leather tube, probably a degloved cows tail.

wht: 688 grams (sword ex. scabbard.)
blade 26.25 in. long, 1 5/8 in. wide near tip, thick medial ridge hollow grind to edge. distal tapered. edge is sharp about halfway down the blade, remainder is dull.

grip is approx.5 in. long x 3/4 in. thick.

scabbard is red leather over a wood core, brass disk at tip is not a coin, but is decorated with a pattern of small chevrons around the periphery near the edge. belt is thicker leather and ridged, a sewn 'buckle' of leather with a hole one end, the other end has a leather thong threaded through it with a hole in the flattened wider end of the thong. the thong is looped back on itself and held by two blue glass beads. scabbard throat is a bit distressed. blade fits a bit tight. i've ballistolled the whole shebang, leather was in need of a drink as was the blade.
