I appreciate all your valued comments, especially Marc , for the extra information....my gut reaction was Victorian ...its the pommel with peening which made me take the risk. The weight given is approx. for shipping purposes so it is less than that....but by how much ..I can't say.....what is a reasonable weight ...if this was a genuine sword?
I suppose my only hope is that this 'sword' could be several 'cobbled' together ....all those years ago......and hopefully not to create a 'wallhanger'.......Ah hope springs eternal ...... will have to wait and see.
I also suspect that it has some monetary value as a 'Victorian curio', if anyone has any idea of it's worth (as a curio) please PM me thankyou.
