Description: The blade is single-edged, slightly curved and widening slightly to the centre. It has a very short second edge at the tip, and a short, V-shaped fuller at the forte which runs on one side into a rather wavy incised line. The hilt is formed of a rough bone grip with a copper alloy ferrule and pommel cap, both roughly cylindrical. The scabbard is of wood lacquered black with a thickened section at the throat, one fine binding in red-lacquered cane, and two cruder bindings in plain cane. There are numerous patches of damage on the scabbard where the lacquer is rubbed off and the back cracked. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | Unknown weapons sword | Temporal: | name=19th century; start=1800; end=1899 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
