Hey guys, I'm a noob here and am looking for somebody to help me figure out this mystery. So, my grandparents came upon this sword about 60 years ago when living in San Francisco. It appears to be made of copper, brass, and steel. The sheath is made of a dark wood and so is the handle. The blade is an even 24 inches, (61 cm) the sword itself is 34 inches (86.5 cm) and the sheath is 26.26 inches (67.1 cm). It's got a cloth tied to the end with something written on it; it feels like linen or hemp. If anyone has any idea from which era this sword comes or what the cloth says, I would much appreciate it. Have more pics if you want to see them.
