rusty Saber: ID requested from the saber experts.

Hi all,

Today I acquired this rusty saber. My wife and I bought some goods in a bed shop temporarily located in an Amsterdam ground floor housing with a garden. When we were having a smoke break, the sales person showed me the garden and the shed and told me that they had found all kinds of old rubbish. There it was, laying in the shed.. I picked it up. He told me that if I liked it I could have it. Mind you, we already had a deal on the goods we bought.

Now, I took some pictures of the item after removing quite a lot of dust, rust and spider leftovers.

The saber measured in a straight line is about 100 centimeters. The hilt is wood,
covered with thin rope. It is "the real thing". It is not a decorative item; the blade is "hollow" and it is still quite sharp.

The white smear on the blade is old paint..

Anybody?
