Agree with Ariel. I've seen similar copies (and a few with Guzunov' name stamp), and it looks like the workmanship is improving (especially on the scabbard's niello/engraving). It's also fairly nicely done copy and for non-expert it'll be difficult to establish the authenticity even upon physical inspection, not to mention by just looking at the pictures.
