nickm Posted April 13, 2019 Report Posted April 13, 2019 Found this on eBay and in not intending to bed but wondering if it is a badd fake or if someone did the tsuka themself? Quote
lonely panet Posted April 14, 2019 Report Posted April 14, 2019 Photos are deliberately misleading or poor quality. But I'm very confident it 109% repro 1 Quote
nickm Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Posted April 14, 2019 agreed. kinda amazed at how bad looking of a repro.. no real pics of the blade at all Quote
Logan09 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Posted April 14, 2019 I saw that right away, let the village idiots bid it up to $400+. Plus I've gotten into a habit of never purchasing anything that they won't remove the handle on. Quote
nickm Posted April 14, 2019 Author Report Posted April 14, 2019 I sent him a message questioning the whole handle situation and he sent me a few pictures of course rather blurry but was able to make out a rather clear picture of the blade. Amazingly fake, I will try to post a picture here in a minute Quote
raynor Posted April 14, 2019 Report Posted April 14, 2019 With no more new Mr. Bean episodes on the horizon, ebay comes through again for the daily giggle quota. 1 Quote
Mister Gunto Posted April 14, 2019 Report Posted April 14, 2019 Chinese folded steel copy. Not just fake, but supa fake! Quote
Peter Bleed Posted April 15, 2019 Report Posted April 15, 2019 In fact, it looks to me like at least some of the fittings might be legit. The kashira is on upside down, but it looks okay IMHO. P Quote
