Looks to be a well-made older product of the Dehradun type, could date from before WWII or later. Lack of the "Made in India" marking probably indicates pre-1947 manufacture. Designed for the tourist trade no doubt, although the tourists in question may not have been wearing hula shirts and sandals.

I doubt that an etch will show anything other than the differential hardening line.
