Thank you for next suggestions. You might be right, while in 19th century there was a fashion not only for historical objects, which were mostly falsify, but also for strange, oriental arts, while the tourist markets was on increase, I think. This one might be an example of such weapon, on one hand trying to pretend somethink older, on the other one, with oriental blade, to catch the eye.
