The son of the previous owner (rest his soul) tells me that this was bequeathed to his father way back in 2009. Originally from his grandfather.

Im IMHO (and from the story of the seller)- probably pre or ww2 era (but I'm not sure really). This sword was kept inside a wooden chest since they had this way back when. The seller remembers his father who, once a month or so, brings it out of the chest to oil/clean it.

It has a left-handed chisel grind.
