could somebody maybe identify it? Or put me in the right direction of somebody that could? It has been in the garage for about 40 - 50 years and it came with the house. I'm in the UK BTW. Thanks in advance
The sword in question, https://imgur.com/gallery/ItOWq
I'm no historian, but can we get some more pictures of the hilt as it looks engraving and that might help with identification.
Also is the blade triangler in cross-section?
We need to see the blade really. What is the quality of the metal like and shape of the blade, this will determine if it is real or costume. It looks like some sort of small sword maybe a spodroon or foil.
You may want to post this to /r/swords. They're certainly used to this scenario/question.
