Just to be clear, there are examples like this that turn out to be decorative pieces for Chinese temples throughout the regions of the Chinese Diaspora, but mostly southern China and SEA. Check the blade for signs of folding. That will tell you if you are looking at a weapon or a ritual piece.

I think you are looking at a weapon, but when I look at that dragon I wonder a bit.
