Nihonto Or Fake

[Michael 67]

 

what do you think, Nihonto or Fake?

[Alex A]

I lean towards nihonto with a dodgy polish. Is that oil residue on the blade?. Koshirae makes me suspicious.

I am curious as to why you think this is a fake?

The papers I dont know about, they look like old green or blue NBTHK papers which have  certainly been faked in the past. But if you are asking whether the sword is a Japanese made blade then I can see no immediate reason to doubt it.

the owner lives in China

Looks like a legitimate sword. Appears to have Tokubetsu Kicho and sayagaki (Kanzan?) attributing the sword to Nobukuni Yoshimasa.

 

Best regards,

Hello Michael,

if one thing is certain on earth, besides death and taxes, than that you NEVER EVER will get the pictured sword from that seller for the indicated price

Michael,

 

The question you posted was wrong, it is a real Nihonto. You have 105 posts by now, it is time to grow up and gives your opinion of a blade if it is real or fake

 

Next time you post a new topic, what would we like to see is the following:

 

"This looks like a real Nihonto, the seller is Chinese, is there a trap and where?"

 

You must absolutely see the real things. As was saying Paul, what makes you think it is a fake? It looks perfectly real, sayagaki and kanteisho included.

The point Jean is making is that the pictures are of a real sword but you can almost bet the one you receive after paying will not be the same one. He probably stole the pics from another site
