I know nothing about swords but acquired this recently and through some talkings with various people I'm still unknown as to the validity of this sword. From what I've read online it's not a reproduction but I've had others tell me certain things do not add up. The blade is in poor condition because from what it seems someone had tried to sharpen it. The blade is sharp but it has left obvious damage to the sides.
Any information is truly appreciated.
There is also a matching number to the blade on the base of the scabbard I just do not have the sword readily available to take the photo. Will add later if needed.
