A DEMONSTRATION SWORD FEATURING A STRAIGHT BLADE WITH PRONOUNCED OXIDATION AND HISTORICAL PATINA CONSISTENT WITH EARLY TO MID-20TH CENTURY MANUFACTURE AND USE. THE BLADE EXHIBITS THE CHARACTERISTIC WEAR AND SURFACE RUST FROM EXTENDED STORAGE.

CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN:
THE SWORD FEATURES A SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE CIRCULAR METAL GUARD, TYPICAL OF EARLY-TO-MID TWENTIETH CENTURY. THE HANDLE IS CONSTRUCTED WITH A WOODEN CORE WRAPPED TIGHTLY IN CORD OR FABRIC BINDING, A TRADITIONAL METHOD OF PROVIDING GRIP AND DURABILITY.
