Hussar saber, real or not?

A very interesting sword that appears authentic. I know little about this type of sword as I mostly collect British. However age and corrosion I am good at determining whether aging is real or intentionally done. This sword appears correct, I am interested in the copper (brazing)? It would take less heat to accomplish the joining of the iron/steel parts. I would say yes that leather and wood can also be aged. Again I find this sword interesting and the only thing that has prevented me from acquiring one is my lack of knowledge in this area since there are convincing copies and photos alone I cannot determine authenticity.
