Unusual* Brazilian M1908 Pattern Artillery Short Sword & Scabbard. 22516. Sword

This very nice Brazilian M1908 Artillery Short Sword was most likely released in 1976 from military stores in Rio De Janeiro, along with other now obsolete edged weapons. It is in very good overall condition. The 15 ½ “blades surface is clean and bright, with only a bit of light staining in areas. It has been sharpened at arsenal, and the main edge is still relatively sharp with no visible dents. As is correct for these swords, the blade is totally unmarked, though there are some number markings on the cross guard: 941 and 11969 on the top, and F 1 on the bottom. The hilt has checkered wooden grip panels, finished with shellac and retained by two screws with split nuts. Overall length of the sword is 20 5/8 inches. The steel fitted leather scabbard is also in very good condition, with the finish on the leather and furniture very nice. The price includes UK delivery. 22516.
