Would you buy this?

Greetings,

 

I found this sword on eBay. I really like the hamon on it. Would you buy this sword? I think it needs some work.

I wouldn’t. It has green papers and the description and title don’t match up with measurements. 
 

For $4k, I’d rather get something with modern papers. You could get a signed Edo period sword with Hozon papers for that price.

This is quite a common thing now a days on ePrey (eBay). I would not even consider biding on a Japanese sword like this on ePrey. I will down vote this post as this unsigned Japanese sword is not, I would be interested in collection especially after paying such a premium on total of the normal retail price.
