Hi IceCube
I would er on the sceptical. I do not recognize this and suspect it is a tourist piece. One way to check, the grip appears to be ivory or faux ivory. If you can tell from the touch, take a stanley type knife, heat the tip until red hot, then touch a discrete part of the grip. If it smokes and melts, it is plastic. If it does not, it most likely is ivory.

Hopefully where fellow collectors can find more interesting / better researched swords.
