Real Or Fake?

Yeah, the "experts". Surely, they have several thousand posts here at NMB???

The expert that helped me avoid this casting A few years ago, was Ford Hallam San. Thanks very much for your help around here Mr. Hallam... and others who educate us would-be chumps. While not always the easiest of tasks: helping out a chump, I really don’t see the harm in trying to help someone save hard earned cash. you never know the next person you help may turn around and help 10000 others, in small part based on the normalization of kindness and concern for strangers. I for one sure appreciate it, just as Patrick probably does.

Someone paid a thousand for that.. ouch. I am a complete novice in these things and can tell that tsuba is not genuine, as in a reproduction without seeing the original first. For me, sloppy finish gave it away, it just does not look appealing even with "expert" endorsements.

 

A very expensive lesson.

The tsuba looks absolutely horrible. I mean just nakago ana tells everything and how come people can bid close to 1k without even knowing 

the basic of the basic. That's all their hard earned money at some point............. sad.
