Hi Everyone,
As part of my small collection I've been given, I believe I have identified my first fake ??
Grip is almost new and the Eagle shouldn't be there. I believe the scabbard is new as well plus the wrong colour. I think the top and bottom guards are OK.
The blade, I'm not sure so help on this one please.
As usual, all comments greatly received.
All the best
Mark
