Anyone know what this is?...

Looks very theatrical to me.
Did John Gielgud use it in "Macbeth"?

It is a british drum (or band) sword. Mid 19th century.

RSWORD and Yannis, thanks for your insight. It kind of makes sence if it turnes out to be from the 19'th century. I can't tell how it got under my in laws house, but there was quite some shipping traffic through there in the old days. So maybe someone treded it for food or something.
Thanks again.

And Ariel, thanks for the humour...;-)
