I noticed this sword at auction. The thing that kept me off was the modern bolt attached to the pommel which seems to be a clue of more recent manufacture (a copy) and so did the velvet inside the basked compared to the rest of the steel.
It woke my suspicion, yet the patina made me doubt since it looks old and worn.

All the best!
