Description

the handle on the blade is approx 2" across at the widest point, the inside where the blade joins the hilt is rusty as is inside the scabbard. there appears to be some restorative work on the hilt and the end, the blade has areas of rust and has verticle lines possibly from being sharpened. I can't find any makers marks or signature.
