already discussed on your other post , sorry as previously said both fakes, it maybe not  the answer you were looking for   !!      if you have purchased this as a authentic Japanese sword , I would ask for a refund .

Mark,

No offense, but this is a textbook example of why new collectors should study more and buy less until they can, at the very least not be fooled by such blatant fakes.
