Yes. A firm in India is making copies of them in stamped metal; a source in Poland also has them, but in electroformed copper. At first glance I thought this one was the real deal. However, it seems to have a big pit on the reverse right by the attaching loop by the sword blade tip. :-" Given that a couple of the seller's other items are also electroforms, I'm wondering if this is also an electroformed copy. Look for bubbles and pits in the closeup views. :-k
