These swords were very popular in the small mall shops in the '70s. I had one similar and i still have two of the smaller versions. They were typically made in India and were strictly ornamental. Here's mine

Dad gum it, I REMEMBER those swords! Those things are what convinced me that swords were junk. Grrr. Grrrr. I want years of sword-nuttery restored to me!

Wow when I opened this thread I didn't expect to see the same sword my grandfather has hanging on the wall near the fireplace next to a reproduction musket.

Hahah I picked up one of those at a swapmeet when I was 15; it was my first curved sword. I taught myself a little saber fencing with the thing. It held up pretty well for a wallhanger.
Ahh to be young again, when my sword hobby wasn't so expensive, lol. I'm rather picky about what comes home with me now.

He-he, I bought a saber exactly like your attic find in Denmark back in -84. I remember the year cause we went to see Beverly Hills Cop at the movies later that evening.

The printed pattern on the blades screams "fake sword" to me.

Hey, I'm sure there's a story tied with those swords...they make good conversation pieces, no doubt.

Oh yeah, my host dad in america had such a sword. I didn't think you could use it for cutting even though he used it to hack at trees and such when he was a child. The sword actually survived all that. Still, I think it's more of a wallhanger. Those look a bit like ceremonial swords. Are they sharp? Edit: I just saw the nut that holds the grip in place. That cries: wallhanger!! Can you hear it? yea, I was just about to say... oh well, all excited for nothing :-(
