Antique Brazilian saber

Post by kwackster »

​A recent thrift shop find is this antique Brazilian Cavalry Trooper's saber.
The only issue i can find with it is a small dent in it's steel scabbard, for the rest the saber looks to be unused.
The blade is still covered in grease, and shows no sharpening attempts or dings.
