The

condition and firm in the hilt. The hilt has a number of small rust
spots, not too many. The fishskin grip is in very good shape, the
twisted grip wire bindings are good too. The leather and steel fitting
scabbards has lost its chape and some adjacent leather. The rest
of the leather is in very aged / limp condition. The sword sheathes
and draws well.
This is a mightily impressive sword, scarce too, especially in such
good condition. A snip at £(too late, now sold). Please quote
item reference AC70 (0328). Further / full sized images available
upon request.
