Thank you all for your observations on this sword. A bit more detail on the piece is :-
The guard has a mark as per attached image.
The blade thickness near the hilt is about 1/4 inch (per attached image).
The blade was a bit rusty when I got the sword, and I have cleaned it.
The back of the blade towards the tip is bevelled to an edge for about 7 inches.
The sword feels like a real piece for using, and would be a formidable weapon.
Does any of this help in identification ?
Regards
Colin
