Villagenut don't see any makers mark the overall length is 39 1/2 inches and the blade is 36 inches. Later I will inspect it for any stamps or makers mark.

You're claiming this was dug from 2 feet under the dirt?

It looks to be pre-earthquake no makers marks. I am assuming due to the blade it looks to be done by the old black smith style of beating the blade while it is heated. The brass scabbard looks hand made and it was found in port royal.
