Hello Lew
Would a 1930's attribution infer a British officer piece?
They feel efficient pieces, to me. The scabbard is carved, in style, under chape. Is this incongruent?
Hello Gav
Thanks for your interest! I have included a blade close up of markings for you.
What does the design on forte/spine mean? armoury? I would be pleased to know the geographical location of manufacture, as I would with the barong you kindly expressed interest in.
Best regards,
Dan
