Hi Dom,

Thats a very nice example. Looks very long as well. What's the measurement?

Thanks every one, for the compliments

Atlantia, I'm confused to have forgotten the measurements

- overall with scabbard; 97 cm either ± 38"
- overall without scabbard; 89,50 cm either ± 35¼"
- blade only; 77,50 cm either ± 30½"
- handle; 12 cm either ± 4¾"
- head dog; 4 cm either ± 1½"
- handle thickness; 2 cm either ± 0,79"
- date; not later than first half of 20th century

all the best

It is getting harder and harder to find big examples of these. Congratulations!

Lovely flyssa Dom, congrats! Good that the scabbard still has all of its bands.

I'd say first half of 19th century though
