Plain knuckle bow enters the lower jaw of the dog head pommel. Wire-wrapped sharkskin grip. No scabbard. CONDITION: blade has a medium gray, cleaned patina with areas of cleaned pitting. The hilt has been cleaned but has begun to acquire a mellow brass patina. Grip shows light wear with minor losses. (02-20088/BF). $600-900.
