thanks for the comments guys. Yep i havent seen anything similar to this on my online travels, im still a novice though with these things. It seems a piece of nice quality to my newbie eyes. Any thoughts on whether scabbard original or not?
The brass plug is perplexing. Almost like they had finished making it, realised it didnt have correct balance so jammed this heavy brass plug in. I doubt its just for decoration. Maybe a replacement for the original pommel that was somehow lost?
Looks late 19th / early 20th cent to me, do you guys agree?
