Hi Gents,
An Australian buddy of mine recently sent me these images of a sword that's (apparently) been in his family for generations. I say apparently because although I have no reason to doubt him, sometimes family history gets confused!
My guess is it's a British sword that made its way to Australia at some point, but I'm hoping you guys will be able to help me out.
He's not really interested in value as he's not interested in selling (although if you do have some of idea I'm sure he would like to know). However, any details you guys could possibly provide would be extremely helpful. Age, model, what the grip is made of, who would have used it, etc.
Judging by the crude engraving on the blade, my guess is that the work has been "touched up" at some point.
Thanks!
