Description
If there is such a thing as a museum quality sickle, this is it. Indian, 19th century. 14 1/4" long, mahogany-like hilt decorated with iron straps and brass fitments, with chased decoration and serration on one side of the blade. Other than some slight, shallow rust deposits on the blade, there are no condition problems. Attractive, un-touched surfaces. I have found a couple of examples of the form on line, but none come anywhere near this one in the application of decoration.
