Well I'm O for 2 lol Fake sword and Tsuba :lol: Ahhh But what about the Money!!?

Thank you for your input but I would like to see what other members think.

It was in my mothers Attic for sometime! She is Japanese and we had a very close friend of the family back in Japan who collected swords give her that tsuba in the 80's.

Which one? And why?

Which one? And why?

Anybody have any Idea's on this, Fake or real? Time period? Value? The Back of the Tsuba I believe this to be money?!

thank you

Ouch! This info was painful! I really dislike these people that are selling these fakes. It’s my fault I need to study more! Are there any parts on this sword that might be real!? Tsuba is fake I'm sure how about the Ho the "Same" or maybe the Saya?

This was a gift from my mother a while back, but there has been a question burning in my mind for quite sometime now. Is it real? I know a lot about Japanese swords I guess I just don't have confidence in myself to lay that question to rest. (I'm really not sure) I understand it is missing a lot and my be mismatched I'll leave it to the experts!
