well seems to have caused a stir,i used the term broadsword because the blade would not look out of place on a scottish basket hilt,i dont own the sword and am trying to make sense of it,no markings on blade or ricasso as observed,condition is good perhaps to good,i will get dimensions next time i visit ,it has no history i know of, was bought by an aquaintence of mine with a view to resell , the reasons for my posting it are to help decide .thank you all for your imput

I have a main gauche, possibly by this same workshop of which I am very suspicious of being XIXth century. Too perfect in the measurements and thicknesses.
The pommel with the crosses remembers me of British Victorian neogothic and horror vacui.
