Plain blade / no maker’s name.
The 32.5 inch blade is losing some of its plating but is otherwise good and firm in the hilt. The hilt / guard with some compression (inward bending) and a very small crack is otherwise good. Ebonised wood (probably walnut) grip and twisted grip wire in good condition. Painted steel scabbard fairly good. The sword sheathes and draws well.
Nice looking quite scarce sword. Well worth was £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference Z20. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 1543-golf (1.736).
