The gauntlet construction looks flimsy, that was my main consideration for thinking tourist pieces. Also my impression was that old pieces were all essentially unique, being hand crafted. Deisgned for cavalry, I'd expect pata to be custom-made, not mass produced to the same design.

I have recently seen a third of the same design, but without the blade.
