I'll ask if he can supply a photo of the pommel & tang end.

He's got the sword, shortish 17-18c trade blade, he suspects now it is North African, possibly Barbary pirate? The grip appears to be rhino horn, it's translucent with an LED light, appears to have hair tubules. It's darker than expected from handling patina. Faint markings on blade forte.


If confirmed, this should probably be moved by a Mod to the Ethnic sub-forum.
