I do agree with you that this is not really a Chinese style weapon. However the Chinese have been making repro and fantasy swords based on designs from all over the world for some time now. This is why i suggested the Chinese origin. Not because the sword has traditional Chinese elements. I also agree that the cross guard casting looks cheap and contemporary in the photos. I think we are dealing with a contemporary repro here regardless of the country of origin.
Like Ibrahiim i also see no sign that this blade is damascus steel. What do you base this assumption on?
