Picked up an 'Eastern Warrior's Hunting Sword'

at a London auction, It looks more like it's a sidekick for my NW African Mandinka sword tho, looking at the leatherwork. Rather subdued green leather in the decorative grip and scabbard. (Maybe it's just in need of a clean?) Should be with me later this week...

I tarted up the photo to increase the exposure as their photo was so dark you couldn't see the colour let alone the fancy braid work.

25 in. overall...
