This looks like a contemporary dha for the tourist market, I just gave one away to a friend for for her kids. If it is like the one I had it was covered with a black tarry material to make it look older in the pictures and the steel was not hardened. I cleaned the black stuff off mine as it kept getting on you when you handled the sword. That being said it does not feel bad in the hand and was good for practiceing forms and such with. I will look to see if I have any pics of the one I had to upload

I found the pictures
