This is an unusual engraving...an Art Deco-style eagle and intertwined design.
It is also an extremely long sword!
No maker mark, but Angolia's book has a picture of an engraved blade similar to this which he attributes to Richard Herder, although the hilt assembly looks like one I have seen on a Puma.
Any thoughts?
