This elegantly designed and crafted sword features a pommelless hilt shaped as a fully formed dragon. The dragon’s tail serves as a reversed semi-basket above the grip made of the dragon’s body. The dragon’s legs serve as one quillian, while its neck and head serve as the other.
This a single-edge full-length backsword, indicating that the upper edge of the blade is blunt along its full length. The dragon motif appears again on the metal scabbard and serves as the anchor for the mounting chain as well as decoration.
This sword measures 35 ½” overall with a 28″ blade. When sheathed, the sword balances perfectly on the dragon’s feet and scabbard tip, eliminating the need for a display stand.
