Geneck Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 I found a sword described as gendaito katana what do u think about this i've added some pics Quote
Brian Posted December 31, 2006 Report Posted December 31, 2006 Geneck, Please sign your posts with name and initial per the rules. This one is a fake. The wrapping is terrible, the nakago looks wrong and has no real patina at all. Patina is a good indicator in many cases. The signature is crude and not real. From the overall shot, the kissaki looks shaped wrong, like the other fakes in the links above. The saya looks like it has crude fittings, which are not typical. I bet a Chinese fake. Brian Quote
