[QUOTE="LoveTheHunt!, post: 2329620, member: 8191"]Fun estate find today, but beyond my expertise... I know someone HERE can help! Short sword is a shade over 19" overall; 15" edge + 4" to end of (rather short) leather-wrapped grip. Numerous marks on both sides of blade, but I see nothing on guard or pommel. [CROWN over "R" - not "G"! Can't edit title here?] Crudely made scabbard looks like folded tin with a thin leather belt loop fastened with a button. Scabbard is an inch longer than the sword requires, but it fits, otherwise. Guard has a little wiggle, but grip is tight on blade. Any help at all is welcome and appreciated! (I took a bunch of pictures, as I know people want to see details of EVERYTHING - I hope it's not TOO many for this forum...)
