Thank you all for the quick reaction.
I am happy i now have vital references on the blade.
Marc's first set of pictures has precisely the same cross section of my example ... or what theres is left of it: a mere eight inches of the tip section.
I may now assume this is a leftover from one of such period dwelling swords accidented blade.
Indeed the components are nice and even have a little age patina, but i don't think they were a born set. The coupling ring shines as modern, and the handle was trimmed to fit into it. The well finished bamboo cane was hollowed for a much longer blade, plus other details.
I am glad that the blade (part of it) is genuine and so adds some seriousness to the trio.
Kind regards
Very nice swords, Mark.
