Default Pirate sword-cutlass

Hello gentlemen,

what do you think of this ''pirate'' sword-cutlass ?
sold as an asian or persian sword ,19th century...

a composite sword ?

The hilt is made of wood and seems quite old.

The blade...
I don't know, strange tip ? looks more a theater old sword,
but it's quite sharp and the basis of the blade is made like a real one, cf pictures.

A general question about pirates swords:

Were the blade cut on a long sword ?
Did they that for making boarding sabers ( I heard they were shortened for close body to body battles ) or did they use falchions-hunting swords ?...
