Help with Sword ID

Obviously I favour Puffs opinion. This would also explain why the lady porters in the film "Bridge over the river Kwai" were portrayed carrying such swords. I am not completely silly when handling weapons having spent over a decade fencing under an ex European champion. I know these are not old grand weapons. I just do not see them as made for the tourist market, the work on the scabbard is really quite fine. I show the whole thing with a "tourist" knife.
