Unfortunately modern. The edge is a dead giveaway. The clash is definitely interesting. Cool item, glad you got it on the cheap
I'm still hoping to find a Swedish counterfeit version from Avesta mint

They all look good to me. Last one looks like it was dug or sea salvaged and harshly cleaned.
@paddyman98 very similar experience (minus the shootouts) growing up in Brooklyn with literally all the wrong people. Congrats on making it out...
