Thanks Tim,

It will be interesting to see if the handle is removeable and if there are any markings on the tang, I probably don't want to find out it is 15th century blade as it looks in terrible condition.

A friends uncle was going to throw it in the bin but remembered me from a pub conversation and asked if it is of interest to me so at least it is saved now.

I will post better pictures when I have it in hand.

Regards,

Ken
