As a coin dealer by trade I was taught not to "mess" with antiques. Is this the same in the sword collecting community? I think I see a wootz blade in hand... But the old surface rust makes it hard to be sure.

To me the pommel looks like a newer addition. From the pictures the metal work is different from the rest and also the patina is of different shapes.
