I found this one for sale not too far from where I live. But I've got my doubts about it as to being the real deal. No markings on the blade, the blade is in too nice of shape (possibly sanded/buffed), and no inspection or rack marks on the brass. The blade doesn't appear to have been replaced, but I have not seen the sword up close yet. Not sure I want to make the drive yet to go see it. Any opinions as to authenticity? Thanks in advance.
And overall length is 36.5". Isn't that too long for an 1840 Musicians? The blade is 30.5".
