The hand forged blade is straight and has a 6-3/4" false edge. There are two pins near the ricasso on each side. The guard terminates in a closed fist, hand forged from steel on each side. The handle is wooden and rounded at the top with a brass cap at the pommel. CONDITION: Blade retains a heavy, dark patina with heavy corrosion overall. There are traces of an old white collection or museum number on right side. The guard retains a matching heavy, dark patina, and the pommel and tang are undisturbed. The wood grip has a large age crack through its entire length on the right side. This is a very early and attractive American knife. DMG
