Hello Michael

I like the unusual and this is definitely one of them.
Never seen anything like it, but it is nice.
What are the dimensions ?
Is that a frog stud on the scabbard ?
Is the pommel cap off centre or is this an optical illusion ?

The blade appears Western and the rest of it appears Eastern.
The pentagram is also unusual in it's appearance.

I hope someone comes up with a definite idea on this.

Cheers
Roy

I'm going to venture a guess: Spanish Colonial Artillery Sword from the Filippines. My quess comes from a Naval Cutlass I once had with a similarly angular hilt. But curved, with a knuckle bow.

Thanks Roy and Trench,

It's 26" with a 18 1/2" blade.
There is a stud on the sheath and the pommel cap is half-loose.

Trench, do you have any reference picture on the sword you had in mind?

Michael
