Island made sword

Thank you for the welcome Henk

Sorry if I jumped the gun but as this is one of the friendly forums I thought I must have caused offence somehow. My sincere apologies for my misinterpretation

Part of me wanted to think that this blade is japanese but the advice I received, including handling 2 old pieces, they were very light and meticulously finished, led me to believe it was as suggested an island made sword/jeep spring sword.
I have the fittings but thought they might bias the opinion on blade, I will be happy to take pics of them, they may not be original if this is a japanese blade.
I would be flabbergasted and excited if this proves to be the case! In different lights the steel is interesting.
Thank you for the communication

Kind regards

Daniel
