It would have to be done post 1970 then to fit in with the typology you've outlined and would have to be classed as a "tourist item" as it would not be a flexible dancing sword.
Hopefully you can visit the museum in the near future and clear this up, I'm quite a few folks would be curious to see this particular sword.
