Hey guys, my brother has had this for around a year now and we still don't really know what it is, i was thinking its a WW1 British Calvary sword but im not sure, can any body help?
Thanks, Glen.

Seems to me a sword made for tourists made in India.
But wait what other members will say.

Hey thanks, this again is out of my collecting field but if it is a tourist piece how old do you think it is?
Thanks, Glen.

Not so old IMO, perhaps 10 years.
It looks like some other tourists swords i've seen on fleamarkets
But he, i am not an expert.
Are there any markings on it?

I agree with Theo - it is a very crude decorator
sword that was made in India..........

No there are no markings on it, but it doesn't appear to have been made in the 21st century, there is a fair bit of age on it,
Thanks, Glen.

Its what i would call a theatre prop sword, ive used many of them on stage before,they are cheap made replicas, normally from India or other Asian countries
