A zweihander...

Hello everyone,
I would like to show you this two-handed flamberge sword supposedly dating from 1600.

It's being sold on a website for several thousand euros more than 5 ....🙃
It's a specialist seller, and the other items the sell seem high-quality and authentic,
but this one looks recent or 19th century to me.
I'm telling you all this because I got a sword identical to this one for much, much less. Even for a copy, it's a very good price! I just have to go get it. And it still looks a little older than this one.
Do you think this one could really be from 1600 and be as well preserved ? It looks too basic to me, and the leather is suspiciously new.
