I suspect the ebay market found a correct price for this item as it does appear to have potential as an attractive decorator. I also suspect that 19th century may be a bit early for date of manufacture.

These days I see medieval style swords of which I am very suspicious in even the most prestigious venues. My advice: If you ever decide to punt on a medieval style sword for large money, then you should see the thing up close and in person beforehand and or have paid the extra premium for examination by a capable and experienced agent responsible only to you in the matter.
