The claw looks unrestored and missing a bit of the flexor tubercle on the proximal end.    For whatever the reason its a claw morphology that I see most often sold from the Kem Kem Group.  Its of course indeterminate and although  I'm not certain believe its from a theropod but who knows.  I believe its a hand claw. 

Do you have a location of where it was found?

 

Here is a complete one for comparison

Looks pretty good! Interesting piece, I would say real and not many or non restorations, perhaps only some fill. 

Can you get UV light pictures? They will tell you more 

 

If you can get it for a good price I would do it , they are pretty rare
