And thank you for the quick answer. The fact that such a large particle of steel fell of from corrosion makes me think that the steel is not so homogenous, meaning not a modern steel. Maybe other forum members can weigh in on this.
Overall, it's a nice looking piece, I can't find anything thing that would make me think it's a modern piece.
And yes, the wax seam on the cross-guard was a bit confusing, thanks for clarifying.
