PIRA
Hello Friends,
A gift from my father. Said to be one of the rarest form of the Moro pira/swords.
The horn hilt- in the shape of a cockatoo's head(pommel) with a long pommel
extension. (brass ferrule).
Scabbard: the upper part which forms as a lock(see pic). With some engravings and made of wood (unknown).
OAL: 37.25" (to the tip of the elongated pommel)/ Blade: 19.25"
My father said that it took him 47 years to find one in this form.
A very Merry Christmas to all!
Salud,
Yves
