Ah Jim you are a romantic similar to my own heart.
That aside! I agree with you, so rough that it cant be modern and as a tourist piece its hardly the sort of thing that can be easily put in your luggage. The multitude of different grades of steel, brass and copper, all seem to indicate repairs and rebuilds over a period of time. The one thing that doesnt look rough is the blade and that I guess should be the true indication, that it is intended for use.
