Well, it's obvious that the blade is the main prize here; it certainly deserves some TLC. I'd suspect that it's very likely 19th c. (possibly even a bit older which would need a really close inspection maybe upon additional treatment).
Fittings are prone to needing repair or replacement sooner or later (depending on intensity of use and storage conditions). Any old remnants still deserve to be taken care of as historic examples, at least if genuine.
