real paper or not

[cisco-san]

Hello,

 

a blade coming with this paper has been offered to me.

I am not sure about this paper (I have added a genuine one as well), even I am not able to read the signature.

 

Therefore I kindly ask for your help.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Klaus,

I'm sure others who can read the paper will chime in but to my eye this looks phoney baloney. I think all columns except the one with what should be an attribution are xeroxed from a real paper, the attribution was written by a chicken, and what happened to the oshigata/photo?

Without a doubt an amateur scam. This person should be reported to the bunco squad. John

A very poor fake...

I wonder who the hell is faking papers that way, making all the work

with copying the proper form but entering a weird alien inscription.

Oh wait, Klaus, is the blade offered to you maybe really "signed" like

quoted on the paper?

At this point maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to share the identity of the seller. I kinda doubt that someone who deals in nihonto would try to sell this kind of gross fake in good faith.

Dear all,

many thanks for your comments. These is what I thought!

 

@Markus: I asked for a picture from the Mei - answer was "I have no possiblity to dismantle the Katana and I do not want to destroy something"

It is an Austrian auction (I guess Markus knows it) http://www.willhaben.at/iad/viewimage?adId=52897667

 

Anyway, of course I will NOT buy this sword (I even had never such intention) - I just want to show you some strange things on the market!

 

Again, many thanks for your comments!
