Hi George, My father was not in the military. He was a very well known Second hand dealer within Victoria, He dealt in just about everything and anything. He purchased this sword from repossession sale from the Victorian Sheriff, this item a several other items were repossessed, apparently there were 4-5 of these same style swords of different sizes at the time, but my father was only able to purchase one of them. Will keep you all informed of anything more I find out Matt

George, can you put me in touch with a member from Victoria? where I can take the sword too?

more photos and measurements

sorry guys was off line for a while I will try to answer everyone as soon as possible, I'll also do some measurements and post asap. again sorry for the lack of replies. Matt

More photos with tac powder Regards Matt

I've taken some more photo's as best I can. There is a round stamp at the top of the tang, which I can not make anything out. I know I shouldn't try to clean it to try an get a clearer image, but is there anything I can do to be able to see what this stamp is (maybe talc powder or something similar) Regards Matt

My father past away 18moths ago. I have his Sword which he has had since I can remember as a little boy 40+ years ago. I just want to get as much information about it as possible. Thank you all in advance for your help Regards Matt
