The external barrel is round and appears to have been made in two parts before being affixed together. The wooden handle is squared rather than rounded and possibly made from walnut. Size: 195mm x 75mm; Weight: 285gProvenance: From the private collection of an Essex gentleman; previously in an old British Collection, formed in the 1990s.
