Pioneer knife.
Picked this one up today,
british (? - no broad arrow) pioneer full tang knife/short sword.
57 cm. LOA, 64 m. blade*. brass guard, pale horn handle slabs attached with brass cutlers screws. no scabbard, 'cast steel' blade, fullers one side only. marked Rabone Bros & co., a UK maker who apparently made these for the (south?) american market. sadly no scabbard.
*-yes i know - these are the vendor's measurements, as they do not compute. i shall measure it myself when it arrives. twice.
