Hello Detlef,
Certainly a nice grab complete with good scabbard. Is the brass ferrule strong? (Looks a bit thin from the pics.)
Could this be an early 20th c. blade that got rehilted later (like WW2 or thereabouts)? The workmanship and wear on the hilt doesn't look on par with the blade and scabbard IMVHO.
Regards,
Kai
