Ariel, you're certainly not mistaken. The second sword you showed is undoubtedly new. The first one is old - the fittings look proper as well as the pattern. it's just seller's reputation makes it difficult to see:-) as this is not the first time he's selling similar items.

Erlikhan warned us (the second link from above post shows more pictures -- see the same cartouche template was used on the Pala i.e. the same workshop).
As Kronckew mentioned, these swords sell for $100-$200 from the source:-) They are souvenirs... a costly mistake. But the main mistake here is buyer's ignorance!!!
