Hello Blondin, when I first saw your post I did want to look at and answer but then unfortunately I got distracted... When I saw your thread again you wrote that you found your answer yourself so I thought there would be no additional answer necessary as you have been right: The blade seems to be etched damast and an old, well known fake. Moreover the eagle s gilding clearly has been badly improved with improper gilt laquer, the same I think is valid for the pommel swaz. For sure something an honest collector would not want in his collection. Regards,
wotan, gd.c-b#105
