Scarce Spanish Modelo 1881 Machete or Yatagan Infantry Hanger (short sword), manufactured at the national arsenal at Toledo circa 1881-1916. These were carried during the Spanish-American War mainly by Spanish soldiers associated with artillery.
Wood checkered grips, steel pommel and crossguard. Blade panel in fuller is etched, "ARTA FABA DE TOLEDO 18??".
Overall length is ~28-1/2"; yatagan or re-curved blade is ~23-1/16" in length.
Scabbard is black leather body with sheet steel throat and drag. Scabbard has shrunken from age and is becoming somewhat fragile; complete scabbards are scarce if not rare on these swords.
