A lovely weighted late 18th, early 19th century Nepalese fighting sword, known as a Kora, Cora or Khora.
Overall this example is 61cms in a straight line with a blade of 47cms.
This Kora remains in very good condition overall.
The disc hilt retains an all over black patina as does the stupa pommel.
The forward curving blade is well balanced in the hand, shows a forged pattern steel consruction and has incised circle motifs to both sides. It is hollow ground from the forte to the tip and also has a constant distal taper from the forte to the tip.
A very good fighting sword from the Nepal tribes in very good condition.
