17/18C Firangi with massive 101cm European blade, Sold

In very good condition for its age, a 17/18C Firangi with massive 101cm European blade.

A heavy and exceptionally impressive sword; perfect for a mounted (on elephant) soldier. The name "firangi" means "(Western European) foreigner", as this is where the blades came from.

The superb 101 cm blade (tip to hilt) has a lovely steady patina and a few period small nicks. Blade firm in hilt; the hilt generally good, some wear / slight damage, nothing much.

This will scare the living daylights out of anyone you point it at (not recommended). Such a great sword for just £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference P72 (0236). Further / full sized images available upon request.
