First one that I see by this maker. Before judging the originality, better pictures are needed: scabbard paint looks unusual, grip plates, diamond rivets, hilt and blade are not seen clearly in this picture.
The maker mark certainly looks good, but I agree with Herman that better pics would be helpful. I don't think Alcoso were makers of edged weapons for any Political organisations so if this is a good one it could be a great find.
