Ray Singer Posted June 9, 2023 Report Posted June 9, 2023 Request photos of the nakago. Out of curiosity, what interests you in this sword? The entire blade has been sandpapered, all the lines in the geometry of the sword have been rounded off (perhaps permanently ruined). 1 Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted June 9, 2023 Report Posted June 9, 2023 At best, a sword by in occupied lands, not made by Japanese; At worst - Chinese fake. Like Ray said, photos of the nakago (tang) are important. He claims it carries an "old samurai blade." Photos will tell. Quote

There is no way someone put an “old samurai blade“ in these fittings. Just trying to be nice until the guy produces more evidence. 2 Quote
The Blacksmith Posted June 13, 2023 Report Posted June 13, 2023 Something, in fact several things, about this sword simply screams CHINA to me! 1 Quote
