As Helleri said, the shape and the quality of the blade look really off. All the real medieval swords I have seen and handled until now had nice clear and crisp lines, and that wobbly fuller just looks wrong in my opinion.

EDIT : to add, that top knob on the pommel looks really weird (very different from what can be found on some XIVth, XVth century swords). However, that pommel shape, described as type H1 by Oakeshott do exist, and, according to him, was used between 1350 and the first quarter of the XVth century.
