total length 35 cm blade: 22 cm ferrule 2 cm handle: 11 cm |

the "strangeness" is in the grip: I only saw a similar-ish placed here by member Valjhun in 2008 and by a US seller ( the latter with regards to the ferrule)
The top of the handle is very nicely worked with plural symbols, although both examples lack the redish dots which mine has. Also for the first time I see the half-cirlce with dots in the ferrule ( poorly in mine but very well in the enclosed picture to be seen). Any one has seen this semi-circle before ?

Not yet.
The "f" is a stylized shamshir. |

If it were not for the typical Balkan design of the hilt with brass inserts, then in the shape of the blade and fullers, I would have seen a Surmene knife. Last edited by Saracen; 24th April 2021 at 06:58 PM. |
