Hi Mal, Full length (incuding handle) is 925mm. Length of blade (tip to notch) is 685mm There does appear to be an indentation above the hole but I cannot make out what it is. Do you think these two swords have any monetary value? Thank you for your interest Regards Ken

Thanks Mal and Bruce for the detailed information regarding the Naval Blade. Please see the attached photos of the blade. I will send separate photos of the other sword blade in the hope that you might know something about that one. Regards Ken

Hi Bruce, thanks for the information. I don,t know anything about the swords history. My Father saw front line action at Kokoda in WW2 and I assume the swords came via New Guinea. I have added 2 photos of the tang of the blade that does not have a handle. Perhaps the inscritions may provide more information. Many Thanks Ken

Hi Mal, Thank you for the information. I will take so photos of the blades etc on the weekend and post them here. Regards Ken

Photos of 2nd sword charaters. Please note second sword tang is difficult yo decifer as it is pitted from age although the blade is in good order and clean. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
