A Servicable Sword Or Decorative?

Apparently a throwaway, I would suggest it is a decorative sword. I don't know if there were ceremonial wedding swords or such but I'm getting that kind of vibe. I cannot translate the blade inscription.

Things like the scabbard rings not really meant for use aside from hanging on a wall. The blade grind and indeed even the extensive etching. Fancy without being meant as a weapon.

Thoughts on this one? Of course, not a great many images.

Cheers
