I believe this is a rather old wooden sword. It was found while cleaning an old folk house. It has a substantial weight and is quite hard. It still seems sturdy and durable (this is just my personal impression). As it's an antique, it has some minor scratches. I don't know what kind of wood it's made of. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. The price will increase slightly, but I can include shipping. Thank you for looking.
