Continuation of Shinsakuto with better pictures.

[deadreconing11]

Here’s the blade from earlier I acquired for study. Some of you guys some wanted higher quality pictures in a better light. 
Nihonto? Shinsakuto? Walmarto?

 

I took some better pictures, for you guys. 



Mei looks to be gimei, probably need someone else to confirm the signature.
Don’t know if I would consider this hada, does sort of resemble masame?
Looks like a gimei shinsakuto to me, what do you guys think?

Looks like a Komonjo sword. Which means likely not Japanese, or a refiled nakago and a new mei added.

I had assumed it wasn’t Nihonto when I first bought it for study, I’m just having trouble figuring out what kind of counterfeit this is. Perhaps a Chinese made Z-sey? Not entirely sure

 

Thanks Brian!

TBH, that's not something we really do here. Discussing the finer points of fakes is best done maybe in the Izakaya. Just don't want us spending time on items that aren't real Nihonto, aside from identifying them as such. Hope you understand.
