Looks like some sort of jian, which are generally Chinese, but similar swords exist in the area surrounding, as well.
This one is probably decorative, not intended got actual use, but I can't say for certain. Age is anyone's guess, but no more than 50 years old is mine.

My friend gave me a sword that he bought at an auction, I was hoping to know its origin and value if any.
IMHO, the hex nut secured, threaded rat-tail tang is prima facie evidence that it's a modern decorative item of minimal value. The motifs are typical of Chinese export kitsch. I'd expect that it's 1980's or later.
