Sword remains found at Babberich Mannor - NOT!

Guessing the guard is brass? Looks to be in great condition.

Hah, apparently he bought it on marktplaats (Dutch ebay, basically)!
He tried to pass it off as the sword from the folk tale. Whether or not it is a genuine antique is unclear (to me, anyway). According to the listing on MP it was dug up in Germany.

I can't edit the title of the thread anymore, but perhaps it should be changed to reflect this.

And what would that be ?

Not sure really. But the remains weren't actually found at/near the manor, so the title of the thread is incorrect.

The style of the blade, especially that of the tip of the blade and the grip made of cast brass makes me think that this is nothing else than a European fascine knife of the 19th century. For me this is not as old as it is said to be!
