Hello all! Upon my skimming of interesting swords, I noticed a strange, yet wondrous weapon. The sword is about thirty-nine inches in total with a thirty-one inch blade and a hilt with gold and silver. Based on the flange at the end of the blade, the sword might be a type of kilij and from the owner's claim, it might be a tool used by executioners during the eighteen hundreds. I would like to hear your thoughts on this item. Is it worth obtaining as an actual historical piece or is it like the kora I posted earlier as a souvenir.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and hopefully this falls within the bounds of the rules.
