(1960s) This is an incredible piece! The intricacy of the carving in this master is simply beautiful. Carved on both sides in nicely grained hardwood, perhaps mahogany. The spindle mount is carved out of the original wood. There is a chip missing from the bottom spindle chock, seperate from the hilt itself. This design, based on an original encountered in Tahiti, is one of the gems of the original OA catalog...this original master is even more so.50.5"x5.5"VG+ with typical wear/chip out of the bottom chock
