Is this really count as half-swording?

Edit: Huh, I always thought the leather count as the handle instead of the sword before. Interesting.

I think so. Half-swording is describing as gripping the blade with your hand, and that is part of the blade that she's gripping, despite being wrapped in leather.
For example, there's this similar sword for sale: http://www.kultofathena.com/product.asp?item=AH3335&name=Scottish+Claymore

Its description mentions

prominent parrying hooks feature on the blade and the ricasso is wrapped in leather for an improved grip for half-swording.

So it seems the leather wrapping is indeed intended for half-swording.

that seems like a Longsword Rather than a half sword! As a collector myself i have multiple swords and they do not resemble this sword " Anduril Sword of Aragorn With Free Scabbard and Wall Plaque

She is only holding the hilt, she is not holding any part of the blade, since her hands are below the guard.
