Can anyone give any pointers on this one, good or bad?
Any help appreciated.

Fake I’m afraid. The hilt of the sword is a lot closer to the U on real ones. The sword handle is more of a lozenge shape on originals and also the point at which the anchor rope goes through the loop is lower on the repro.

I posted a pic of an original which Magpie kindly and expertly repaired in the ‘best of 2018’ thread recently.
