I agree with the others. I would guess at 1900 or slightly earlier for the blade, the hilt may be a little a little later. Yes missing the guard but etch the blade and I'll bet there is a lamination pattern in it.

One option is a coin. Another is to have someone make a guard with okir out of silver, copper, or brass with a scabbard to match.
