I hate to throw a wet blanket on the party, but, with the blade incruststion all over except for the extreme tip and adjacent edges, I believe this is a 20th century repro.
If one observes blades of a known old age, the points are usually rounded or somewhat deformed from years of contact with the floor of the old building or barn, kids and adults poking, dragging, and hitting things not meant to be cut with a sword, electrolytic corrosion from ground action, etc. More likely the forte and ricasso will show original surface than the point. |

For the moment, I also think, as indicated in # 1 that it is a 19th or 20th century reproduction, for several reasons.
I come back on this after receipt. best, jasper |
