Click Here to enquire / inquire about / buy this item
With remnants of etching to the blade, with a horn hilt / grip, circa 1890.
The 34 5/8 inch highly curved blade is aged and has a couple of old nicks, but is good and firm in the hilt. The horn grip / hilt is amazingly good for its age, a slight crack / tiny hole one side. The original fabric scabbard is aged but good, though it has age / dryness shrunk a little; the sword does not sheath fully, to say the least, as a result.
An amazing looking 19C Abyssinian Shotel for just £400. Please quote reference ZV76. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box?
