 I can only operate on the photos as shown, but the tip doesn’t look symmetrical  in them. Also it looks very thick. 
Finally, it looks ‘wrong’ to me, especially with that fuller running all the way up like that. This is exactly the kind of forte I would expect to see on a cup hilted rapier or smallsword of the period I mentioned.
