Sword - Artifacts

Description
Scabbard is 22" (55.8 cm) overall, ornately carved hardwood (Acacia?). Panels are separating, curved tip is broken off, one panel is splitting. Blade is 26.875" (68.3 cm) overall (including handle). Blade steel is damascened, has bubble flaws in metal - almost certainly hand-forged. Handle is brass, cord (for better grip) and light-colored wood, the latter bent almost pistol-grip, ornately carved. There are two pieces of the carving missing.
