An interesting sword, even more so if used in a well known battle. But, can we say that a engraving on the blade is 'provenance', proof positive that this sword 'was there'. The reply to a question (on the listing) states that the people from whom this sword was bought, had no idea as to its history.
Many forgers use engraving to 'prove' the age etc. of their counterfeit products ...so, I am always suspicious.
