Cello Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Wondering if this sword is legitimate? I've never seen a hank like this?... But there are way more swords and styles I havent seen the have.Also the Nagako looks way too new to be koto but he does state it's a gimei so maybe it's been altered? Any thoughts.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/280808461704?ss ... _978wt_922 Quote
drdata Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 New link, it was re-listed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 0812481909 I am no expert. Clearly the nakago has been filed down and a new mei added with a dremmel or the like. The hamon rising up past the shinogi seems odd. Regards Quote
drbvac Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Well he does say it is Gimei and I think the wavy white lines are reflections 0 there doesnt seem to be much hamon visible in some of the picturew Quote
Surfson Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I don't think that is hamon. It looks like he worked on it with a buffing wheel. Quote
Cello Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Posted January 26, 2012 It's very strange... Looks like he polished it in but why? Are there blades out there that look like this that he would be trying to copy? Quote
