I have recently come upon this sword and I have a few questions about it. I believe it is from around WWII, but I don"t know for sure and I would like some more precise dates. I would also like to know what the appropriate nomenclature is for this sword. There are no markings on the blade but there is some on the wooden scabbard. Lastly, I would like to get an idea of what a sword like this in this condition would be worth.
The blade is sharp and measures about 26" long with an overall length of about 36".
I can provide more pictures if necessary.
Thank you.
