Kharga, sacrificial kora,...or what?

I am suspicious of anything with a hex nut instead of peening on the pommel end. The guarded hilt is not traditional & appears more suited to a weapon. I suspect a marriage not made in heaven. might even have a rat tail rod tang welded to the blade near the guard. I'd disassemble the hilt to check it before you actually hit anything with it.
