The mounts are crude, but Qajar period produced high quality and low quality items. The blade though is wootz and I believe even the original poster's blade is wootz as well. Seems to be from the same workshop.

Indeed, they are very similar. And that is wootz indeed but in my opinion recent, 20th century crystalline wootz.
