El Real Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 hi everyone, I'm a new member from Italy! I bought a beautiful shin gunto at an auction, but the signature makes me confused.. I don't know the Japanese language but this one looks different from all the ones I've seen around in internet! can you help me? Quote
Brian Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 Appears to be a Chinese fake. Sorry. Try to get your money back. Post more pics of the sword for verification. Quote
El Real Posted January 20, 2021 Author Report Posted January 20, 2021 actually it looks strange.. everything looks ok, dated/worn but for example the hole of the handle is not aligned with that of the nakago.. if you confirm me that it is a false start immediately the dispute! they also issued me a certificate of authenticity (made by the art gallery that sold it to me), which at this point can be used as proof Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 The tassel and mounts are real, the blade is not authentic. At some point it has been swapped out with this chinese junk. Quote
El Real Posted January 21, 2021 Author Report Posted January 21, 2021 Thank you for the info! I’ll try to get my money back.. I really appreciate your help Quote
