I am most inclined to agree with Sajen.

Unfortunately because of the quality of the workmanship I am inclined to believe that this is an example of where someone has taken an older item and has purposely added embellishments to it in an attempt to add to its overall desirability and value to a collector. This is only my personal opinion and I could be completely wrong in my assessment.
Best, Robert |

I'm with you Sajen and Charles. The wood carvings, the metal, MOP, and bone(?) are recent, meant to enhance or rip off, unfortunately.
 Only the blade might be old. |

Thank very much. The sword is in a shop in Toledo. 3 or 4 years ago the sword was to sell, but now is only for display.
Thanks again. Carlos |
