Hi,
This thread might be of interest

I bought this sword with the understanding that in all probability it was a Victorian copy but always there is the wee hope that it may be period if not in entirety then maybe some elements within its construction. This is obviously not within my area of knowledge but hopefully those in the know will chime in sooner or later.
My Regards,
Norman.
