Help to identify a sword

Almonzo · 24th January 2026, 06:39 PM

Hello all members,

I'm new here but I read a lot of the forum threads and like edged
weapons.

I have this strange sword to identify please.

For most of my friends it is just a fantasy sword but I think it is good.

Welcome! I'm new here too, and I'm looking forward to seeing your sword.

Hello thank you,
I tried , now I hope it will be ok.

Sword is a mix of medieval pommel and hilt with a celtic ? ?
guard and blade

Your friends mat be correct but I think you will get more responses in the European Armoury, so I'm transferring it there.

Regards,

Ian

Hello, OK thank you !

I put other pictures with more light,
The blade is really thin , sharp at edges and 3-4mm at the middle
With no visible central ridge

Thank you

I think that you are correct in your attribution of the styles of the various components. I do not recognize the whole, perhaps something along the lines of an militia infantry sword of the early 19th century, a hunting hanger or a particularly nicely made theatrical prop with some age. Hopefully someone will have more definitive ideas.
