). They are about 2 inches apart. On them they both have a bunch of Oak Leaves and have two rings onto it. Now to the blade. The blade doesn't have any engravings on it besides the maker (Alcosa then it has a line under it with the engravings Solingen). Does anybody know what this is? ------ Now to my sword. My mother says it is just a "practice sword". But, I would still like to know from you "experts" 
OK here goes nothing. The sword is about 2 1/2 - 2 1/4 feet long. The handle on it is black with little bands going across it they bands come out about 1mm and are about 1mm high. On the back side of the handle it has a gold colored thingy going up and down it. On that it has oak leafs all over it. With acorns. Then it has a protective bar on the front side that would, I suppose, PROTECT the hand. On that it has large oak leafs that are skinny - wide - skinny ( the same way the protector thing does). The Oak leafs are not engraved into the whole thing, there is about a 1 inch thing left at the bottom of that thingy ma bobber The part that seperates the blade and the handle is about 2 inches long and in the middle it has an eagle with a swastika below it, that is only about .5 inch wide. the front end of it curves downward and the other side curves downward too, but not as far, about half as far as the other one. The cover to the blade doesnt really have anything destinctive on it so I won't explain it. The blade, on the back side, has an indent that goes into the blade and goes down it a little more than half Im guessing. The maker of it is: (sorry I can't read it well so correct me if you can) something along the lines of E (with an illustration of a sword as an L or an I i guess) ckorn then under it; it says soligen.. .I think, Can someone out there please help me out with this, I would really like to get some more info on it, thanks!-KiLLa
