Cast Iron Dragon Spear Short Sword. Heavy solid cast iron short sword with a cruciform fullered segmented 21" blade, dragon head guard area, woven leather handle cover, and fluted round pommel. Cast as one piece, not sharp, but pointy. Possibly Chinese. Not sure of the time period, but probably made in the last 30-40 years or so. From an old collection. Overall length is 30.5". Condition is very good, the iron having a dark patina where the casting flash was ground away. Finish appears to be black paint. Some light red rust in the crevices of the dragon's head. The woven leather handle cover shows numerous scuffs to the shiny leather surface, but it is all intact and tight. Est.: $150-$250.
