I don't anyone had suggested you were somehow a "stupid collector".

only i would find a catalogue description for it .... i dont see chinese manner in pommel and guard more european victorian but i m open to change idea if all the ideas of collectors suggest chinese offer me images and documentation abaut...

thank you

My opinion would be a Victorian period decorative piece.
