Interesting sword, Jim. The heptagram (7-pointed star on the pommel is unique for me. It has symbolic meaning in all three Abrahamic religions as per Wiki below:
"*The heptagram was used in Christianity to symbolize the seven days of creation and became a traditional symbol for warding off evil. The symbol is used in some Christian branches such as Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity.
*The symbol is also used in Kabbalist Judaism.
*In Islam, the heptagram is used to represent the first seven verses in the Quran."
The blade looks flat with no details as if it may be sheet metal; surely not.
Best,
Ed
