[kronckew]

Picked it up today.

weight: 408 grams
LOA: 25.25 in. (64cm)
Blade Length:21 in. (53cm), it is not fullered.
width at guard: 1 3/16 in. (3cm)
thickness at guard 4mm. ~ 3/16 in. distal tapered to tip.

1st 7 in. has a sharpish false edge, rest of blade is sharp. blade slightly pitted and black oxide rust overall, slightly rounded tip, a few small nicks on the edge. stag grip is tight to blade, brass guard shows slight movement, tang end peened over keeper. guard is plain, slightly dished on the blade side, decorated with what look like scaled dolphins and maybe a winged cherub face. floral decor & dolphins (?) on knuckle guard. decorated pommel. marked about 7 in. (18cm) from the guard with a Y shaped mark both sides with a spike bisecting the fork, and a branch to the left and right from join and with a curled end on left. mark is about 3/8" sq.~1cm sq. antler grip has a crack along the top side centre, but stops a couple inches from the ends. top extension of guard is not there as in the example above. maybe broken off. where it would have been is well rounded and smooth from wear, so break is not recent...
