Welcome to the forums.  I agree with the assessment that this is a Conan-inspired sword.  With the exception of the lack of pommel, the silhouette is very similar.  Naturally the sword posted by the OP doesn't have the decorative aspects like this one, but you see what I'm referring to.

Welcome!

Few questions: Did you know Arnie added an inch to his arms using that sword (it weighed near to 10 lbs)? Have you seen Conan the Musical? What, if anything, do you plan to do sword arts wise?
