Unmarked but for a partial maker's stamp struck twice on the knuckle bow. Probably provincial or colonial English. The hilt decorated throughout with broad lush scrolling foliage. Grip wrapped in twisted wire with silver ferrules top and bottom in the early fashion. Hilt shows minor wear from use. 31 1/2" triangular blade shows mottled medium gray patina with smooth glossy surface. Intriguing variation worth some research. Show more
