I think it is a later "interpretation" based on the blade quality, blade shape, size etc.

Hi Detlef,

Again you manage to unearth an unusual and beautiful piece!

That is certanly one of the most attractive I've seen!
I love the form, the happy face and pot bellied sheath are really nice.
A beautiful piece, thank you for sharing!
