That pretty much dismisses the possibility of a theatrical or film prop sword!

For the most part... although, I have two very sharp, very banged up Indonesian swords that were apparently used in a play about the Aceh wars.

But, those are originals, and it is admittedly unlikely that a sword made as a theater piece would be sharpened.

It could still be a historicism piece or a composite of some sort, though. That is where my money is.

It could still be a movie sword if it was for use in a scene where the wielder cuts through a object as a demonstration, then swapped for a blunt version for the fight scenes.

Honestly it's such a mishmash of parts that I can't think of anything except movie or historicism when I look at it.
