Hi Gustav,
Absolutely. In hand it looks like it was made yesterday, but the hilt does seem to have some age.
I get the feeling he was sourcing this stuff for a long time so he may have had people 'restoring' or even finding it for him and doing some 'tarting-up' prior to selling to him.
It's all a good fit though. Is the blade an interesting one?
