- Lot Description
25" long, 1.45" wide straight, single-edged spear point blade, with 6" false edge. Spine marked I GILL, and reverse ricasso marked with a [crown]/2 inspection mark. 30.25" in overall length, 5.25" hilt with brass stirrup guard, teardrop-shaped pommel cap and simple peened attachment. Guard with single forward-swept quillon terminating in a flat round finial, and a pair of brass languets at the guard. Leather throat washer. Grooved wood grip with leather wrap.
Good overall. Blade has been cleaned in the European fashion, and now has a medium pewter patina. The blade is mostly smooth with scattered light surface discoloration and minor oxidation, showing some lightly scattered minor pitting as well. Blade shows some polishing and tool marks near the tip and may have been shortened from a longer blade at some point in time. Hilt with mellow mustard patina. Grip retains most of the leather wrap with some wear and loss.Condition
