A very handsome sword, profuse with sophisticated metalwork. I didn't see any indication of markings on the spine of the blade, and doubtless you would have mentioned and photographed them if they existed. The only thing that might give me pause is the accuracy and elegance of the metalwork itself, which is exceptionally pleasing to my eye. Almost too good, though I'd ignore any suspicion in a heartbeat, charmed as I am by the thing in its entirety.
I am far from expert in these blades, but I can say without hesitation that I'd welcome it into my collection. Great find, in my opinion.
