How can i do that? Starting a new Thread in Sales Section? And just add a Link to this one right here?

After a long time i decided to sell those Swords from this topic for a few Buggs. I will sell them as Fake, the reason is i cant proof if real or not. If the longsword is a real Gendai, then it is and i dont care anymore because i do t wont to spent more on it as i done before. I will send both together or seperate. Just contact me. Peice will be jus a few buggs for the new Iaito from my daughter. Longsword- 500,- Wakizashi- 100,- If the Lingsword is real, you have my congcratuation for it, if not you can use it as Trainingsword for Iai or Kenjutsu. Just contact me

Very nice! Thanks a lot Jussi!

Can anybody tell me if this is Tekkotsu on the Rim of this Tsuba? I know most of you dont like such pieces because they are easy and not Daimyo Style Mountings. But I like the simome Style and would like to use it on a Training Shinken. This Lines appears on Both Sides, omote and ura- on the Rim only. At one Side they are very barely visible near the Nakago ana.

Visible Hagane and Kawagane Lines?

Yes i think you are right. i dont think there is any way to get my money back.

but btw everybody just can look on some bad pictures. and everybody told me the same that it is impossible to say something just by photos. at now i dont think it is a gendai or something. it makes me feeling bad right now. its just maybe a gendai and so i have to cry after my money and have no idea how to get it back. if i put money into it and then i know surely it is fake i dont think i get a refund. btw i dint think the seller will response.

I asking myself how to get back my money. i dont think he will accept this

Yes I know. I dont think it ever was a Daisho. The Mountings are all different. Only the Tsuba and Menuki are the same looking. The wodden parts are all Destroyed. Maybe Water or something. Some parts are black ( i dont know the word). I think i have bought scrap Blades and dont know how to handle this. I hope maybe the katana have a chance to be original and the Wakizashi is dead i know. I dont want so see what i wish it should be but i am asking myself what bullshit have i am done. if i cant proof if ot fake i dont think i cant get a refund. Sometimes i am asking myself if this blades are realy those i have seen on the sellers pictures. No Tsuba of this are Cast. But the last one and third are looking like modern Steel. With the Letters MaroIchi Translated by Markus Sesko. Both Fuchi have different Color. One is Blackend and one is in Copper Color. Menuki and Kashira are made of Silver. But i think both are modern. The two old looking tsuba are seem to be washed down. there are visible lines on it but maybe the patina is destroyed by washing or something. just see it under light and from very nearly sight.

here you can see the badly shortened Nakago. there are traces of a machine.

It have a lot of scratches same as the longsword. Maybe Sandpaper or Steelwool for rust. shinogi is round and blade is badly shortend looks angle grinders. Hardening is still there. Same as the longsword. all over the Balde are traces of fine scratches like Sandpaper does. the blade is matt and the yakiba is mirrorish.

btw all chinese blades came out from the same forge in long quan China. hanwei, chen and lee and all the other manufacture sitting there and selling their swords just using other chinese mei and names. i know one guy which is in trade with that company. its just a rent factory where u can invest money for producing swords with you name. but they all are different to this one. most of this swords are all cheap imitations with no real activitys on the blade. i know some chinese smith have very good abilitys but that is always a massproduction even if the swords are handforged like hanwei. thats why i never have seen a chinesd sword line that.

Sry for not answering all those Posts. I cant make any Posts the last in case of my limit about 25 Post. I think it would be the best Option to send this Sword to someone with good reputations in my Area. Making Kantei with bad polish and via picture isnt nice at all. if i can proof that the Swords are fake i want to have a refund. but after sending brian some better pictures of the Wakizashi it seems to be it is original Japanese but in dead condotion. i know there are a lot of high quality chinese Blades outside and i use them too for training and so on. but all this activitys confuses me to much in this one. after talking to some people here in this community i decided to send this sword for a real live seeing kantei in my country. i know most of you meaning it is fake. but If you held the blade in your hand, you would most likely understand my doubt. i know some chinese forged tamahagane/oroshigane Swords from some european manufacture in the netherlands and that blade isnt to compare with this unbalanced blades. the blade feels while just holding heavy but it isnt, while weelding it feels very light but feeling heavy if just holding again. i know most of you judging in case of the nakago and the scratched letters. but kantei starts in suguta and that suguta is nicely craftsmen work. if somebody know anybody in germany near Frankfurt i will be pleasured to visit him for a real life kantei.

dont worry! i dont get him wrong, but it makes me crazy. i payed a lot of money and it gives me headache since they arrived.
