Is this a passable repro or are there any REALLY bad errors?

Hello,
this looks to me like a "passable" repro but, thank´s god still easily overall detectable by any experienced collector. Also concerning the troddel.
Regards,

I guess it depends on how knowledgable the collector is whom this piece is being "passed off on".
For me, the crude casting of the crossguard and pommel, as well as the bad blade etch (seen clearly even in a blurry pic.) are dead give-aways.

The troddel as a whole is terrible. They have mated an EM knot with NCO straps. The knot portion is really terrible but the straps are quite good.
