It seems modern replica.

To me it even seems to have some arc welds (see arrows).

I concur with Marius, the lines in the blade are somewhat clumsy, the welds, all seems modern work.

I agree, very much a modern replica, falsely aged to appear older & more valuable. On the plus side, it does look fairly well built, so at least it won't fall apart on ya anytime soon (the lack of rivets does seem rather sketchy to me though).
