The haft has 7 original brass tacks and there are holes where 13 are missing. **SOLD**
Condition: Good. The head is in excellent untouched condition. The original haft has been cleaned and is in poor condition. There are 7 original brass tacks but holes and/or evidence of 13 missing tacks. The obverse side of the haft has a split running from the head-end of the haft 9" into the main haft. The reverse side of the haft is split from near the "mouthpiece" 10 inches toward the head. Both splits are stable.
