It might be wise not to write this sword off too quickly as an assembled piece.

If it is an assembled peice, it looks like the work was done quite some time ago. It also looks as though the new handle failed in use. So whomever bought this thing intended it for more then a simple wall hanger.

I would agree with you if it werent for the crossguard and the ferrule. The crossguard looks more chinese modern to me.
