Daddy Cool Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 Could anyone translate the attached please? Its on a sword for sale at auction. Ive got as far as seeing an "8" and a "1" and then im stumped! Quote
Guido Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 I think the correct reading is "made in China". 2 Quote
Stephen Posted January 9, 2017 Report Posted January 9, 2017 agree mumbo jumbo to look like a name not a date, yoshi and others Quote
Daddy Cool Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Posted January 9, 2017 Haha, i did wonder! I wasnt really interested in the sword - the incredibly low estimate combined with the statement "Sold As Found" set alarm bells ringing - it was more an exercise to try and decipher a date (next time i will practice on a better example!) This is it if you are interested. https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/lockdales/catalogue-id-lo10074/lot-63b1ea90-de2e-4828-a561-a6e400cc0bda I guess learning how to spot a fake is as useful as learning how to spot something good - cheers for the replies Quote
