A good complete Bhutan Patag, 19th century.

This very well balanced straight sword from Bhutan measures 81cms long in its scabbard, 79.5cms out and has a blade length of 64cms.
The hilt is wood with ray skin grips. The grips are borderedwith upper and lower collars in classic Bhutanese style. The lower collar has an integral bolster whilst the upper offers support for the large pierced pommel cap to sit.
The blade is very fine example of sword making from the region. Many layers of hairpin returns can clearly be seen within the blades faces and its edge still remains very sharp. Good distal taper can be seen along the spine to the hatchet tip and from the spine to the hardened cutting edge.
The scabbard is dressed in plain brass mounts and a large and well selected section of ray skin covers the timber core in-between these fittings.

A very good and well priced sword from Bhutan which would grade up very well with minimal effort.
