The grip is cut and shaped from a solid piece of rhino horn with a fibrous structure. The cross guard and the “D” guard are forged in one piece with the typical three prongs down curving quillons, which was decorated with gold koftgari design, now mostly gone. The scabbard is wood, covered with dark red velvet and set with chased silver fittings. . Total length 39 inches. Good condition. Small areas of pitting on the blade. Minor chips to the horn grip. The metal collar of the grip is missing. The scabbard and silver fittings are later to the sword and the velvet cover is recent.
