A French sabre, length 89cm and a kukri
Estimate £100-150

The scabbard has numerous dents along its length on both sides, the blade does insert all the way into the sword, but it is possible that there is a loss to the very top of the blade. The blade itself has some corrosion and nicks on the leading edge. The pommel does jiggle a lot when shaken and the grip wires are missing. The kukri is in average condition with rusting to the blade and damage to the leather sheath.
