Sorry, I don't know what kind of bar it is. However it likely wouldn't have nice engraving if it was pure junk. If the bend as viewed from both the top and the side seems reasonably normal and the clamp size is correct (as you say, 25.4mm) and the width is good for you, then go ahead and use it. Other than the bend and width it's pretty hard to tell one bar from another just by riding it. OTOH, if you are a large, strong rider and you like to pull on the bar with all your might, then wait for some other C&V member's evaluation.
There are lots of nice bars in the world.
