Blade appears to be too short. Thought it may be cut down but the taper supports the length being the original length.

The taper on a flamberg blade is far too great and the actual tip of the blade is absurdly tiny. Other elements of the hilt don't match. It is just wrong. the leather on the grip is obviously a replacement, though that could be someone's genuine attempt at restoration. In short: don't touch it is my advice.

this is a no brainer and very easy to see that its not original, ludicrous an abomination to the real thing. Looking for originals under 5 k is inviting yourself for disaster , its like wanting to buy a rolex for 500 usd.
