Welcome to the forum, okiemoss

I would not doubt this is a replica, but other members may confirm. These Jinetas were brought to the Peninsula by the Moors during their occupation.
You can see some threads and posts on these swords if you use the "Search" button on the top of the page.
Meanwhile you may have a look to this real example, attributed to Ali Atar (circa 1450) a Nasrid military leader, father in law of famous Boabdil, the last King of Granada.
