I also see on guard the typical English flowers (rose, thistle and shamrock).
The engravings seem to me, however, of "good qualities" to be a copy of sword but also it seems that there are traces of blackened rusts which would allow to imagine some old age of the steel.
In any case very enigmatic sword that my impression seems as good as rare ... but it's my personal idea. Now I have to find similar examples because if it's a fake, it should be current and easy to find on the Internet and if it is rare, some day, a member of this Forum will enlighten us :-)
Now I regret not having outbid more ..... :-)
