thanks everyone! i am really happy with this find.
 do you have any idea which year or century this might have been made? or is the hilt and scabbard just as important in telling the blades origins? what can you say about the blade alone? thanks in advance! |

What a great find. Congrats! I believe it is at the latest early 19th century, but likely much older. Super piece!
