Thank you, I agree that the blade is undoubtedly locally made, but I do not think it is from a leaf spring, but rather from locally smelted iron. The hilt features - bulbous pommel, boxy guard and the style of the scabbard decoration are usually associated with 19th century examples, but it could easily be early 20th century as well.
