Real or copy? (Montante, Bastard, Claymore)

To continue with my rampant guesswork and speculation, I guess the blade could be the real deal, but that hilt looks fishy. Maybe not the oddest I've seen, but nothing I'd dare stamp as authentic on my own.

And while manufacturing dates aren't contagious, the fact that it seems to be in the same batch as the Executioner's Sword and the Bastard isn't exactly a good sign.

Frankly, and I mean this in a constructive way, the hilt looks like it belonged to a bouncer in a bordello. An old bordello perhaps, but a bordello nonetheless.

Really.
