Victorian reproduction sword "practice problem"

I saw that one in its auction catalogue. It looked too good, so I didn't bid on it. Might have if they'd offered P&P in-house. It could be a theatrical reproduction, some of the late 19c ones from Germany/Austria were quite good and were made pretty much like the originals, and would have been good weapons in battle.

I agree Kronckew, if the bidding was lower and shipping would have been less trouble, it's a sword I'd be quite happy to own even if it was a reproduction as it looked well researched and of high quality.
