"Artifact" from the Iga Ninja Museum

[PxN13]

I've been periodically hunting swords on ebay for the past couple of years but this is the first time I've seen something this crazy.

I had to do a double take. I'm sure this sword is as Japanese as chicken tikka masala

That is about the largest pile of horse manure eBay listing that I have ever seen. Is he mentally ill or just a crook?
How does someone talking such bull get an eBay rating of 1881??

Oh no!  He doesn't ship to the UK!  What a tragedy, now my collection will never be complete. 

 

All the best.

[PNSSHOGUN]

Shame he didn't post here asking for opinions.....

[Spartancrest]

I bough a 'better fake' if there is such a thing, same 'watered steel' and kanji in the wrong area, at my local market for $50 as a wall hanger - and mine says it was made in 1643 on the blade. It is alright for cutting weeds so its not entirely a waste of money.    What does 'Unfurtunetly' mean anyway!

It's no problem.  There might be something comparable and "unique" in a nearby cat's litter box.

Indeed it does, that’s why this guy is a crook. He mixes real facts with his fantasy story. He knows what he’s doing: look for a fool with money to part.

I know it says FREE SHIPPING!!!!!!!!

 

But he will not ship to the UK.

 

I'll have to make do with the 4,000 sets of original Daimyo Armour worn by Tokugawa Iyeyasu, when he was helping out the Spartans at Thermopylae, that I was recently offered in an email, from Lord Chief Justice Michael Mainwaring V.C. , of The Lord Chief Justices' Palace, 131a Omugo Avenue, Lagos, Nigeria.

 

As I only need one suit, would anyone like to take the remaining 3,999 off my hands for a reasonable price?

 

PS, Any Yoruba Speakers on the Board will understand the address.

Did you look at the feedback samething repeated over and over.

[Wayben]

That's the canned feedback that a seller gives a buyer, since you can't give buyers negative feedback any more.  You have to click on feedback as a seller up above to see all the makeup, pillow cases, and wallets that he normally sells.

[AntiquarianCat]

It seems the listing ended. I genuinely hope someone didn’t buy that nightmare.

[Wayben]

It says it was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing, lol.

[Rich S]

Yes, the error was in listing it at all.
