Ikkansai Yoshihiro )Etchu Norishige)

[Swords]

I thought I would post this because the hada is similar to the one I posted earlier 

So my take on it is a Chinese copy? But maybe not ! The signature through me off 

Any way any help would be appreciated

This does appear to be a Chinese fake. I do not see any similarity here to either Etchu Norishige or Ikkansai Yoshihiro.

Its a mixed sword. The blade is fake and the habaki.

The rest looks legit.

Thats the first thing I noticed.  You can actually see the light reflecting off the individual raised ridges.
