A good example of a late 19th C. Chinese fighting oxtail sword. This example is in good condition with the original black painted scabbard and fittings, which are somewhat loose. The blade is in nice condition and is a serious thick beefy blade made for chopping. A small section at the top of the scabbard near the chape is split but the scabbard is otherwise entirely sound.

37" OAL, Blade is 30"
