Looks like in this case the canvas is wrapped around under the diamonds also. I tried sliding the very end down to see if I could see the peg but I couldn’t. I hate to start poking holes and ruin the wrap. Thank you all for your information! If I manage to get the handle off without destroying anything, I’ll update with photos of the tang. I will add that the handle wrap seems dirty from use and there are a few nicks in the blade. If it is decorative, I guess someone was still using it.

Thanks for your reply! Where would this peg be if it has one? I looked all over and didn’t see a way to remove the handle but I also know literally nothing about swords. Unfortunate if it isn’t worth much, I think he paid $100. Oh well, can’t win ‘em all. Britni W.

My dad bought this sword from an older woman (late 60s) who inherited it from her father. Her father was in the military, but she had no idea where he got the sword from or when he obtained it. No maker marks anywhere on it that I could find but I also have no idea what to be looking for. My dad works in resale and is looking to sell the sword eventually, so any information about it and possible value is much appreciated! Hopefully it's okay to post this here, I'm obviously new to the messageboard!
