here's a short sword I don't recall seeing before, which I guess is european, maybe 1840s-1870s...
with the rounded (unmarked) nickel blade and sawteeth, I thought medic (cut branches for splints, etc.) or combat engineers. I hope someone can say I've struck the jackpot, of course!
help much appreciated.
