Wow! That's an odd, but extremely interesting piece! I've seen swords of this kind referred to as so-called 'pioneer swords'. I had assumed from their title that they were sort of a wilderness survival sword used for making fascines, sawing wood, cutting through wire, etc, a tool/utilitarian sword. The quillons are most interesting! 4-sided spikes remind me of those found on some Chinese pieces? I know, guessing now. Anyone else on this one?
