Attractive sword.

Hugo Baruch, although originally a sword producer, was a costume/theatre designer after WWI until the NS.

You can google him for more information.

I believe your sword is a full-sized theatrical prop rather than a child's sword.

Wes, I'm very inclined to agree with Roger as that is what it looks like to me as well. Best Regards, Fred
