Most likely Czerny's were correct.

There are minute details in the style of the koftgari, in the material and shape of the blade that point towards a modern replica... not only the decorations.

I have seen some absolutely astonishing replicas made by a Turkish swordsmith that could be easily taken for antiques, and I suspect this is one of his works.
