I've loved collecting knives for a long time and have only recently decided to purchase swords, spears and other larger weapons. I also love antiques and other collectables, it interests me to be on this forum to discover even more about swords ect..
This is a sword I picked up not long ago, I have no idea of the origin, if it is a fake, replica or real? There is markings on the blade I would love some help translating and if anyone knows anything else it would be appreciated
