Thank you very much for the detailed comments!

The link to your sword is very useful as I was strugling to find info on how to fit the knot.
Regarding the rayskin, it is genuine but it has seen little wear. The blade is also quite narrow so I assume it is a 20th century "parade" version.

Yet, I believe it is not a reproduction because it clearly shows signs of age and the edge is reasonably sharp.
