ca1800; (h. 6 7/8") (o.l. 36.5"); This is an early 19th Century Bamboo Cane Sword, almost always attributed to sea captains. Sword has fine blade that had been blued and has had applied gold decorations. Blade appears to have once been marked by a maker's name in gold, which appears to read "KELLY No 139 Strand" in an Old English script. Handle of cane has a 10k gold eyelet for a silk scarf or cord to be threaded through. Bamboo scabbard does stay on blade sometimes, when cane is picked off the ground. (What ever holds it in place must be in the tip of the cane, and is likely dirty, causing it to fail some times.) Has a brass Ferrule on the tip. DIMENSIONS - about 36 & 1/2 inches overall, 6 & 7/8 inches handle, 29 & 1/2 inches scabbard, 26 & 7/8 inches Blade, 8 & 1/2 inches (first part of blade) Blued Blade & weight is 10 oz
