These are very interesting pictures. The corrosion on the guard, in particular.

Normally, I am very sceptical of "clean" pitting, and the guard also has an unusual shape. But that doesnt necessarily make it bad.

The corrosion on the guard, in particular, with the "lines" makes me believe more in the object, and also the corrosion near the blade edge seems legit.

I'm 80/20 that its good, from the material shown.

It needs further examination though.

It seems to me that the material that I could then show, its quality is simple and itself, not quite correct, the presentation of the subject on my part, and there is a reason ..
it’s just that the item was being prepared for one exhibition, and since I did the initial clearing myself, I only had a question about the unusualness of the sword itself, the protection, the tip of the blade and the black, in general, in general, in type and appearance, and in the photo that turned out then he was so all flat and uncomplicated. therefore, so, but in general it was postponed, but I opened it gradually,
in the general photo, of course, it is not visible, but in fact it is all in caverns, there are still photos of places that attract attention

unfortunately, if something happened, then only a "shadow" trace remained, but even so
