This is a strange composite the blade seems nice but the hilt ferrule and that crudely made guard screams tourist to me.
I am not convinced that anything necessarily "screams tourist" here. Composite pieces can sometimes happen within cultures based on needs and available supplies. In fact i find the crudely made guard more an indication that this may have been intended for local use more than the tourist market.
