Hello wolviex, I am just making a suggestion based on the artistic taste of the wealthy in the 19th century. I think this is a 19cent made for export hunting hanger that has fused two of the popular art styles of the mid to late 19cent that of the exotic and oriental with renaissance revival (note the quillions and pommel). Here are two pictures of products bought by the Victoria & Albert museum London from the Paris Exhibition in 1867. Okay they are not weapons but they do illustrate how extensive this taste was and the range of products made to cater for it. The jug is bronze, the tazza is kuffgoorie work (that's how they have spelt it) steel damascened, with gold. I hope I have been of help. Tim
