I do think the hilt and crossguard are possibly old. They have put the crossguard on upside down which is fairly ridiculous and then had to cut into the upper side of the guard to allow the blade to fit. It's hardly important in the context. Why fakers would use such a uniquely strange blade is fairly silly. The quality of the goldwork is slightly worrying though, it could almost be right apart from all the other mistakes
