It looks like it may go pretty high. $800 already (10 bids) with 9 days left.

The sword is real, so no reason why it shouldn't go high. Looks like a very nice sword too. In good polish.
If the mounts are modern, then people need to be buying the sword, not the mounts. He doesn't state the koshirae is the same age as the sword, and in fact it almost never is. So buyer beware as always, and buy the sword.

Bling effect. Many people love shiny golden things, like magpies.
