I think if it's a cheap fake they have gone to an awful lot of trouble to get all the details right. Correct manufacturer, inspection and arsenal stamps for the age of manufacture date hinted at by the serial number, correct screw through grip wrap on 1 side of the tsuka for the serial number range. Good terminations to each end of the fuller?

Hi all, new here and am overawed at the amazing knowledge. Looking to buy my 1st type 95, found this but it looks in remarkably good condition (possible repaint?) All else seems good from what I have read so far, correct screw placement and stamps for an early serial aluminium tsuka. Fuller also looks good to my eyes, its just the immaculate paint that's worrying. All serial numbers are matching. Apologies for the not so great pics, it's all I have at the moment. Any help/opinions much appreciated.
