Hello friends,
My first gunong in a long while. 9 inches overall, 5 1/2" monosteel blade. The ferrule and guard is horn with some insect damage. The hilt seems to be elephant ivory as it has what I think are Schreger angles. The wooden scabbard is cracked and has been wrapped in leather with slits for a belt. I'm guessing it was done by the person who brought it to the States. Seems to have a fair bit of age. Interested in your thoughts.

Thanks,
Steve
