It arrived a day or so ago.

Blade is 51 cm. LOA is 62 cm.
Weight is 715gm. feels heavy. Flat spine, no false edge/yelman. No fullers. No apparent engraving yet. One stamp that is a bit indistinct. small ear yat grip, black horn (i.e. karakulak) rivets/ bolster/tonku/ring are brass or bronze.
Brushed off loose red stuff and verdigris.


stamp area appears to have a very turkish looking stamp, but can't tell yet. VBit more cleaning then oiling to do.
