Right out of the shipping box a second ago from a german auction-platform for weapons.

40 cm long in total. Hollow grind, which makes the blade light for the thickness. From my opinion it is not a new one. What do you think ?

Best regards Thomas

Nice. How heavy is it?

Yes, it looks old. I'd guess late 19th or early 20th century.

The weight without the scabbard is 408 gramms.
