Hi Jim
 ,thanks for the info. I think your opinion of the age of this sword is about right ....ie early 20th C .....but I wouldn't be surprised if it was mid to late 19c. The overall concept of the sword ...its overall appearance is IMHO some what spoiled by the 'clash' of guard and hilt.....a bit like putting a Picasso next door to a Michelangelo.....ah well beauty is in the eye of the beholder  Regards David |

LOL!!!
Excellent analogy David!!! and well said Rick I do agee this could very well be earlier into the 19th c. Without real close examination forensically its hard to tell as judging by form or style has no real benchmark with neoclassic productions. All the best, Jim |
