unfortunatly it is not Victorian but a recent reproduction or copy made by an Italian blacksmith, probably made around 2020.
I still saved a photo from Facebook |

Interesting, Corneli, but no marking on THAT blade. Maybe someone has a proper reference link to help prove your date comment?
I agree with Jim. |

On the face of it there are differences in the guard that indicate that it’s not the same sword, however if its a recent production there’s nothing to say this isn’t one of a series. |
