Contemporary swords are often interpretations of earlier examples. I think in this case the sword is made to look slightly like a Japanese military sword, particularly a WWII NCO pattern which were often numbered on the blade at the hilt. All the additional etchings to the blade are "fluff" to add appeal to the appearance of the blade. I don't know if these modern pieces have a particular name other than wallhanger or decorative object.
