Could you please tell me if the device in the photo is a hardness tester?

Why can't you ask whoever owns it or uses it?

It does not look like a portable hardness tester.

You got me curious, but a bit of Googling doesn't turn up anything specific.
I find:
Digital torque wrenches
Handheld hardness testers
Digital thread depth gauges
All three are available in a form somewhat similar (ie, handheld pen-shaped) to that shown, and could presumably be made to look like that, but I'm not finding a specific model of any of the three that matches exactly. The buttons on the digital torque wrenches most nearly resemble the ones on the photo, though.
Another option is digital coating thickness meters, but they generally don't look like that.

Thank you very much , I just did not know about the first one, I mean, I had to guess, but thank you

We have a micro-tester for hardess that looks a bit like this. Ours uses a tiny diamond tip and leaves a mark about 0.030 inch in diameter. We use it to verify hardness on NACE bolting, among other things.
