Are there any markings, hallmarks left on it?

Now that is a relic. It sure looks old. Simple - not elaborate. Kinda like a fighting sword or sabre. Gonna be interesting to see what this turns out to be. ---Chuck

No way thats spanish i dont think....I dont know if you guys familiar with the famous Bell Ranch In new mexico..they has there own museum,...well lots of spanish items have been found there including a sword or two including a breast plate..the handles have the big hand guards on them whatever they are called..That looks more like a sword of the knights of the round table type..which course not from here....Just what i thinks.Could be a sword crafted in the colonial days are sooner also.Sometimes when i find a site in the middle of nowhere i tends to believe im the first there until i find a tunafish tin.....jn

No marks that you can see. when I found it it was stuck in the ground like a headstone. probably burial.

Neat old sword. Could be a Spanish Colonial Short Sword, 1790 - 1820
