[mavi1970]

hi
just wondering if anyone would know of any information on this sword, age, area etc? it is roughly 30 inches long with a 6 inch handle and a cross t all covered in what looks like old weather aligator or skin. the crossguard is metal from what can be felt but the handle end is wood over possibly metal. the blade has a blood groove through it and it looks like possbily the metal of the blade has been hammered as layers can be seen on the spine.
