This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 12/10/2019
35 - 3/8" gently curving blade with partial double fuller running approximately 2/3 of the length of the blade. Left side of ricasso marked "Sheble & Fisher / Philada". Right side unmarked. Guard with characteristic three branches. Leather grip with single strand of braided brass wire. Scabbard does not fit the blade correctly. CONDITION: Fair. Blade has oxidation along the entire length but appears to be otherwise untouched with crosspolish still visible at ricasso. Brass guard has turned dark with marks from handling and use. Wire is good and complete but leather grip has split in places, revealing wood. Scabbard is an even oxidized metal with some silver showing through in places, particularly in protected areas. Throat piece is quite loose and tends to stay with the blade when sword is drawn. EW
