Made yesterday in China.  Franklin Mint is actually a tiny step up from this.

I don't know Grey, I've had the misfortune of running across a few FM 'samurai' items in the past, and I'll say that as obviously fake as these are, they're better than the average FM effort (think sanded-on sawtooth hamon and nylon tsukamaki). That price though... sheesh!

Hi Guys.,

 

What made me chuckle was this:

 

We are not familiar with Chinese items.

 

Check out the country of origin of the seller's 750 other items in the store................

Wow! What a bargain......

 

Haha John i was the same thinking as i see it.

But why the hell they ask such a price. Thats total crazy (the ebay costs are much higher than the package)  :laughing:

My assumption with an item like this is that the seller posts it in hopes that someone will "low-ball" them at say $1000 and feel that they got the swords at a steal when the seller accepts.  These swords are junk, but if you establish their value at $16,000 then someone who doesn't know any better would naturally assume they are something to be sought after.

 

Honestly, to an untrained eye, this would look like a pretty nice set.  It presents nicely.

 

Also, if this isn't a red flag, I don't know what is.  As the seller suggests, have care.
