Hi,
Got this recently and am not sure as to exactly what it is, certainly not recent I think. I doubt that it was intended for any serious knifeplay, I don't think blade is thick enough, more for adornment that anything else maybe even old tourist? maybe for a child. A 7 inch blade with what looks like the remains of some gilding, grip is a tad over 3 1/2 inches, hence the thinking made for a child. There are also traces of gilding on the grip and scabbard. As usual all thoughts and comments sought.
Regards,
Norman.
