No maker’s or retailer’s name, but a cursive “GB” proof stud.



The 32 1/2 inch blade is in very good condition for its age, starting to show age, etching clear, firm in the hilt and grip. The hilt with some age (small patches of plating bubbling, some small rust patches) is good. The fishskin grip and associated twisted grip wire binding are good. Steel scabbard is good. The sword sheathes and draws well.
Actually looks better than the photos give it credit. Actually a great price; was £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference ZZ12. Further / full sized images available upon request. Box 1649-105x15x14 (1.808).
