Martin,

The quality of the blade and lack of detail to the scabbard and hilt fittings along with a the thin, small and weak baldric rings are all indicative of a post 1950s piece, generally associated with the bazaar or tourist trade as Ward has noted.

Not the best, and definitely not the worst, I have seen of this type.
