I saw it on e-bay and was only shaking my head... IMHO, this is as Hungarian as Chairman Mao. I cannot recall any Hungarian or Polish sword with a downturned pommel. I strongly suspect that the scabbard, its fittings and, perhaps, also the handle, are modern. Also, check the wooden core of the scabbard: likely it will be quite fresh.


Rather than traditional marriage, this is a case of swinging and swapping :-)



I would try to return it ASAP.
