Has it been in a time capsule? It looks almost TOO good. The chain for example, is there actually any patina/ageing on it? Same for the crossguard it looks too fresh. Has the blade been polished to within an inch of its life?
Even through my noob eyes I don't think I would buy it.
Your question is "original or not?" My answer - bad photos, too much shadows.
May be original but looks to me like someone glass bead blasted the surface of the fittings to remove corrosion. Bob
Collector or Dealer ?

Definitely looks tarted up. Has that hanger and scabbard been spray painted silver?
