Interesting backsword with moon markings

I'm not knowledgeable on these but I get no sabre vibes from that hilt. Some of the joints on the hilt appear welded. As in modern arc welded. The hilt proportions also look odd. My opinion... hilt is modern. The blade is probably a bit better looking, but from photos looks a bit thin at the base. I would expect at least 6.5 to 7mm at the base on a backsword. This looks thinner than that. Any idea on the distal taper?
