One of the photos shows the end of the pommel, but it's shaded. Is the tang peened there? If not, the pommel is either glued on or screwed on. Perhaps disassembly will provide some answer?

On this style of pommel, the pointy part is an integrated peen block. (Separate peen blocks were common.) But brass tends to be soft and can deform when peening. Which is why I ask if it's peened. (All the original pommels of this type I've seen are iron/steel.)

The blade is forged, but by Medieval standards, poorly finished. So it looks like a modern sword, perhaps deliberately left with a wavy ridge etc. to make it look obviously hand-forged.

Salaams Timo Nieminen, I think it is a mixture but based on a new Chinese sword as at the start of your post. I think the top ring on the pommel has snapped off...on which the tassel would have been tied. The crossguard is odd.
