IMHO, it looks -- non-traditional.

The point is not usual, the blade is unusually wide -- and very long- and the engraving and inlay is something I have never seen on a Jian. Jian are usually rather plain.

I would hazard a guess that it was made for a tourist.

You pays your money and you takes your chances.
