IJASWORDS Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 Are they then artificially patinated? Quote

They use real gunto fitting, relic the tang after carving the Gei Mei. Sometimes they carving the Mei on the real Japanese Mu Mei blade, sometimes use the Long Quan blade. Quote
Brian Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 That is very scary. Going to badly affect the collecting of these. 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted December 7, 2020 Report Posted December 7, 2020 That is a shame they are using real fittings. Quote
DTM72 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 Some characters are really close, and others...not so much. Quote
16k Posted December 8, 2020 Report Posted December 8, 2020 The signatures look a bit crude and shaky in places, but that will fool a lot of people. Frightening... Quote
BANGBANGSAN Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Posted December 8, 2020 I’m sorry guys, I mixed up GI and GEI .偽銘 should be GIMEI instead of GEIMI.Thanks Jean for point it out.😀 Quote
Mister Gunto Posted December 12, 2020 Report Posted December 12, 2020 Yikes! Especially if they're using genuine fittings. It's not too hard to artifically rust a nakago. Add a little "honest wear" to the blade, a few small spots of light rust, a couple tiny nicks, voila! Ebay's latest scam swords... Quote
