Hiya, any signs that the tang was peened over, or was it a stick tang and just inserted into the grip/shaft.
The tang seems slightly shortened or broken. I cannot see whether it is the original shape of the tang or not, there is too much rust. The tang is slightly bended, all beyond this is pure speculation. The size of the tang fits to European weapons.
