My twopennyworth is that it is an old blade and scabbard, dubious guard and grip, and a downright suspicious pommel. The suspension mount has slipped and is too low on the scabbard, the sword would not balance on the suspension cord.
The mounts on these are usualy quite simple, and not figurative like this one. Nonetheless, worth having. Chinese swords have been much under rated in the past, and polish up nicely with a good figure in the metal when etched. I am doing one up of my own, which is why I did some digging around on them.
