Item Details
Description
North America, Mexico / Southwestern USA, Spanish Colonial period, ca. 18th to 19th century CE. An intimidating saber, known as an espada ancho or broad sword, which was carried by Spanish soldiers. The blade is short and wide with a single cutting edge that slightly curves upward to a pointed tip. A cross guard with circular tips protrudes at the end of the blade. A knuckle guard with four supporting bars arches outward and connects to the iron capped pommel. The hilt is covered with a simple wooden grip. A nice patina lightly covers the iron areas of this sword, and the weapon is well preserved! Size: 30" L x 4.5" W (76.2 cm x 11.4 cm)
