Hello Yves,

I agree that these look similar enough - could we also get a view of the other side of the blade, please?

The pommel carving on the piece you're enquiring about seems to me pretty rough without wear and patina from extended use. I'd guess this is a later recarving or replacement. Also the braiding on the grip (plastic?) seems to be too rough for extended use. I'd suggest that this is an older piece whose hilt got revamped sometime after WW2.

Regards,
Kai
