AN ENGLISH BASKET-HILTED BACK-SWORD

With reprofiled single-edged double-fullered blade with faint 'ANDRIA FARARA' signatures with the fullers on each side, iron hilt of slender bars supporting two plain shields, domed pommel, and remnants of original wooden grip, the blade almost certainly a working replacement (pitted and worn throughout, forward-guard loose)
