Hi Emanuel ,
nothing looks right about this sword...besides the fact the handle slabs are longer than the tang and the rivets looks weak. The design of the blade looks 'bad' ......without a 'point' .... it is not a 'cut and thrust' and without a curved blade it is not a 'slasher' .....this is not a 'well thought out' or made weapon. What it is ...or where it is from I have no idea. Looking at the thickness of the spine and no apparent ground edge....the profile of the blade looks to be triangular with an edge that has a relatively wide angle ...more akin to chopping wood than cutting flesh

Regards David
