Default Tibetan sword: real?????

The cardinal rule is that every antique weapon sold from China is a fake.
So far so good.
Look at this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...7382&rd=1&rd=1
It has a hairpin blade and this is considered to be an unmistakeable sign of an authentically old blade.
Question:
Is this one real despite its Chinese origin of sale?
If not, are we witnessing a further level of sophistication in Chinese fakes?
