This is not the sort of thing I know much about but these are the things that make alarm bells ring for me.
For a heavy slashing weapon the guard seems in the wrong place.
The quillions and the bars on the guard look just a little too rough and hastily made with hammer marks.
The hammer marks on the swords back near the hilt are a little unnerving. These too seem in the wrong place to assist cutting with a hammer, if being used as a survival tool
.
I could well be wrong but it is not just paranoia, constructs are out there.
Just always have in mind a fool and his money is soon parted
