Hunting about in Library I note the interesting situation with Naval Cutlasses and the GR, WR, and VR marks ..see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ia+blade+stamp

For spirals in the tunic ..though depicted holding a sword see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ht=peter+munch

So it's most likely the nimcha blade in my original post is European? The blade's only 3mm thick and 28mm wide at its blade. It just seems thin.
