Hi Fernando,

I too want to here what the experts have to say about this piece. The piece as a whole has some beautiful age to it and some gorgeous old world craftsmanship to it too. The blade under close viewing has some lovely forgings laminations and is razor sharp after a couple of swipes along a sharpening steel.

The zig zag borders found around the "floral" scrolling and chasing shows remnants or a red substance in places too

Anyone here have any more exacting ideas, I believe it to be somewhere between 1850 and 1900.

regards

Gav
