PNSSHOGUN Posted March 16, 2023 Report Posted March 16, 2023 Unfortunately another bad chinese fake as well. Quote
Kiipu Posted March 16, 2023 Report Posted March 16, 2023 A reproduction as already stated. 大仁二郎 = Ōhito Jirō or Dainin Jirō. Quote
Eds Posted March 16, 2023 Author Report Posted March 16, 2023 Thank you virtually every sword that I've posted here except this one is part of my collection. .. . .Fakes get returned. I have had 2 fakes and they went back home.. in the future I may post questionable ones prior to acquiring them as a method to avoid getting stuck with one thanks again 1 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted March 16, 2023 Report Posted March 16, 2023 That's the right idea. To add to everyone else's points - stamped numbers on habaki are almost always a sign of Chinese fakery. There are a few, very few, Chinese railway swords with numbered habaki. But add stamped habaki to Damascus steel and your already full into fakery. Quote
