Picked this up for my son today.
A beast at 17 1/2 inches (45 cm). That said it is very well balanced.
Both the blade and the guard are made out of files/rasps. Nice hefty stag horn grip with brass pins and a nice engraved end cap.
Appears to be engraved SAL near the cross guard.
Date: ????? Not really sure but IMHO pre-WW2 quite possibly WW1 or before.
