Hi everyone, I recently purchased a WW2 blade that I have been told by the seller was a Navy Officers sword, the blade itself is in very good condition and I was hoping I could get some background information on just what I have here. Are the fittings all original? What worries me is that a screw is used to hold the blade, which throws up a red flag to me.
Much appreciated, now on to the pictures of the tang and the blade.
