Chris could tell you a lot more about this piece.
But i don't think you missed something valuable. You might have missed the bargain, money wise, but i don't think you missed a good collectible item.
To my ignorant eyes, the blade looks funny. The lock, besides not being working, looks itself locked . It looks as some extra device was added to it. But this must be because i never saw such pattern.
Again, Chris could help much further.
All the best
