Sword ID: Please Help!

[onemorejill]

I was given this sword to research for someone and I'm clueless. I've spent hours on Google and many sword forums and I am failing. This is what I know:

The entire sword is 40.5" long. It is 6.5" wide at the handle. The blade is 1.5" wide. The sword weighs about 5 lbs, 11 oz. There are no inscriptions, maker's marks or symbols (besides the obvious snake, skull and lions). It has a hole on each side of the handle, where the lions' mouths would be. The handle appears to be brass and the blade is lead or steel- I don't know the difference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

im thinking fantasy sword. you can see the mold lines and the brass looks like it has a fake "antiquing" finish on it

I'd say definite fantasy sword too. They make them in all shapes, sizes and styles. Low-ish value probably.
Here's an idea of the type:

Oh...your blade will be steel. Lead is very soft, way too soft for a sword.

Ok Ddog posted just before me lol...good ID. Thought it looked familiar. This one looks a little different though, a cast grip instead of a corded grip...unless the cord came off. Might be a cheaper version?
