It looks like the Kris Cutlery "Celtic" sword, mentioned in a discussion in the Greek section. Basically it's a bad steel copy of a BRONZE sword, more pre-Celtic than Celtic, really. Might be converted into a decent Greek hoplite sword, or an Italian sword of that general era.
Valete,

Lucky you lol!
I always wanted a flintlock! Seen a few over the years in antique shops but were a wee bit expensive!
