Judging from these pics, it doesn't seem to have much in the way of age. The edge looks blunt and the decorative designs are a hurriedly done acid etch. I've never seen an authentic Chinese or SE Asian blade quite like this.

Yes I would agree , yet it seems an absurdly large item for a tourist piece .

Maybe a purely ceremonial piece for some Chinese expat assembly hall/temple, possibly from Southeast Asia?
