Hi mrasingh

Your pesh seems to be a relatively modern recently made item I'm afraid. It's certainly been extensively reworked recently and I think the horn grips are definately recent.
The markings and position on the blade might indicate that a section of an old blade was used.
The steel is unlikely to show any activity, but you could try etching it for confirmation.
