Well, i agree with most of what Milandro said, but while the dress is probably more recent i believe that blade is probably older than 40 years. I would judge the blade antique, the dress vintage. I'm not quite sure what the mendhak (the ring between the hilt and blade, is made from, but it does look like the very red aspect of it is some added pigment.
To add more specific directions to Milandro's advice, the hilt needs to be rotated 180º. It is face exactly opposite of it's intended position.
