A note on the guard,it is BADLY damaged and missing several pieces including a quillion that looks like it would have followed the knuckle guard towards the pommel.The very end of the knuckle bow has a very small projection that enters a hole in the pommel.As to the edge it never had one,from what I have read on the ARMA page that doesnt seem inconsistant with the originals.

I wish I could provide better pics {I guess its my camera}but if I set the resolution any higher I have to virtually shrink the pics to thumbnails for the forum to upload them.

BTW,the sheath is definately a replacement it doesnt even take the entire blade,I agree that its probably from some sort of 19th cent military sword.
