Yes, I agonized over this. As a Chinese sword it is not very exciting, but as a Korean sword it is quite interesting. In terms of design characteristics it fits everything for a Korean sword, but not a Chinese or Japanese sword.
It is missing a habaki/tonku, but this also seems to be a somewhat variable trait. The primary argument against this sword is its overall "showiness" combined with a mediocre blade. |

IMO, the blade looks very modern. As in late 20th or even 21st century, the kind of thing common on modern Chinese-made fake katana/tachi/gunto.
