A "fake" would indicate there was something it was copying to mislead. And it is about intent to mislead rather than ignorance.

This looks as others have mentioned a recently manufactured item in the fantasy weapon realm.

I would certainly contact the vendor and ask to return the item and receive a refund. Express your concerns about the age attribution given to the piece.

A learning experience - we have all had them. Join groups like this, plenty on facebook also, and post images prior to purchase. Some groups do not permit links to auctions etc prior or discuss prices but you can get an opinion of an item.

It works both ways - was sold an item as early 20th C and it was 100 years older and worth much more than asking price.
