Here is a link to fake swords on the JSSUS website

http://www.jssus.org/nkp/fake_japanese_swords.html

Once he reads what is there he will know that this is obviously a fake.

You would think the marker with 21 would convince him.he still texting me .it’s real Damascus steel.the gold is real it’s heavy and old .

[PNSSHOGUN]

Genuine crap 

[Brian]

Firstly, gold is no indicator of genuine. It has zero to do with genuine or not. Neither is weight.
The quality is crap. The fittings are crap. Genuine Japanese swords do not look like Damascus. That tang is terrible. The tsuba doesn't look anything like a real one unless you are a novice. The characters on the blade are a sure indicator of a fake. Everything is bad. There is ZERO chance it is real.
Tell your buddy to deal with it.

Dear Christian.

 

You can take a horse to water..............  Sounds like you are past the point of rationality.

 

All the best.

The main question is: Why do you invest so much time and effort to convince him?

[Shugyosha]

Sounds like a candidate for shinsa to me. At least he’ll know the answer then. 😬

Genuine made in longquan from masterswordmaker Mr. Sho. You can go on the website of the longquan swordmaker society and download the genuine papers for this sword.

Thanks guess I been texting him responses but I give up !he didn’t believe me and he is not believing experts .so it’s done !

Christian,

 

Tell your friend that I can get a thousand more exactly like this if we wants to buy some more of these "treasures".....

[Bjj]

I honestly I’m baffled .I spent way to much effort proving my point .He still won’t accept .He said I did not prove it to him.Show him another like it ?Then he showed me a silk screen copy now some famous Japanese artwork .I said yes I’ve seen those in a museum.Now he wants ague those .wow . So he will be posting forsale on eBay eventually and trying rip off people .I wish I can find another exact reproduction of it maybe he accept it then.I seriously think he is gone crazy and me too for even wasting my breath !

 Artist: Kitagawa Utamaro  He has those originals to if you guys interested forsale .lol 

[Bruce Pennington]

Ask him what he thinks about chem-trails,

[Bjj]

Im Sure he believes in those . Lol

[SAS]

I have some real Japanese swords i can sell him if he is so hot to trot.

[Katsujinken]

The contents of my recycling bin are worth significantly more.

It’s as fake as they come: bad blade, no yokote, fittings are crap, tsuba? Man I didn’t know they made some that bad! Now, if he wants to live in a dream, let him be.

Good Evening Christian,

 

Perhaps suggest to your chum, that if he is convinced of its quality, then he should perhaps put it on Japanese Ebay, where serious Samurai and Ninja experts, who are also Medal of Honour recipients, and ex French Foreign Legion, Special Air Service and U.S. Navy Seal Operatives, who clandestinely protect the Emperor and the hidden gravesite of Hattori Hanzo, would see it, and be so impressed by its quality and rarity, that they may bid it  to a final value in excess of $100,000,000,00.  Just to bring this cultural icon Home.

 

Worth a try.........
