The blade does not look new to me. Its structure with 2 narrow fullers, complex wider fullers at the end and unusual pseudo-persian lion strangely reminds me of trade caucasian blades from Old Atagi. "Rubbish-y" inscription also hints at the same origin: no persian master would write rubbish in persian language, but caucasians did it all the time.
