Vietnamese Guom

Hello Everyone, Would like to share these photos of a Guom I have had for a long time and would appreciate any comments you may have, particularly with regard to age and use. the scabbard and hilt are nicely made and decorated but the blade seems pretty rough to me and not up to the same standard. Were they just for show? We have a saying which may sound crude but, to me, aptly describes the subject sword and that is "All fur coat and no knickers"

Regards
Miguel
