I am more one the side of those who suggest this is a modern setup.
The fullers appear to be, in my ignorance, a crude work to suggest earlier reality. Hopefuly Lee will find and share the example he mentioned and with it a good sign of authenticity of yours.

Hello,

While it is difficult to form an educated oppinion from the photos, there are some details in the photos that make me believe this is of rather recent manufacture, in other words a fake.

Regards,

Marius

It could have a shortened blade, in my perception. As for the guards, I don´t know if this could help. The picture is a fresco in the Aarhus Cathedral in Denmark, 15th Century.

Salaams Gonzalo That is a cracking piece of artwork showing the similar dagger form... Brilliantly placed !!

Below examples of the split quilon from the armour clad troopers sword and shown separately a Scottish Claymore sword...with split quilons. Regret unable to find daggers however, perhaps the Mediaeval form on the artwork is a sword?
