US 1870 1’st model yataghan artillery? short sword fresh estate find. This must a rare item. I was not able to find anything on this exact short sword. I found several Naval boarding short swords that looked similar except for the handle area. The handle it tight to the blade with NO movement what so ever. the blade does have 8 tiny nicks on the sharp edge . The overall length is 28 1/4" long tip to handle end . The blade is 22 3/4" long and the heavy brass or bronze handle is 5 1/2" long and just over 1" wide at the widest point . I see no maker marks on the blade but it does have some great patina and I do not want to clean it to look for any. I will leave this up to the new owner to do if you want.
