The handle is finely carved from a massive single piece elephant ivory with a silver collar. Original wood scabbard covered with colored fabric and mounted with silver locket and chape. Total length 12 1/2 inches. Very good plus condition. Very good age patina on the ivory. Fine and impressive item. |
