Hi eveyone,

 

Did you see this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Japanse-katana- ... 925wt_1392? If this blade is what he claims it to be, why not submit it to shinsa *BEFORE* sellling it? Your thoughts?

If I may quote the seller:....So i say nothing to mutch.....

 

Nobody would seriously expect to find a Renoir or van Gogh at E-Bay - not as an unidentified find but with that famous name! Why would anyone believe that an obviously uninformed seller had a true MASAMUNE to offer at that price?

 

Compare with real MASAMUNE blades and you have your answer.

Jean,

you mean the Renoir I bought on ebay might not be genuine!!!!!!!

But Guys..... According to the seller and I quote directly here, "It has a great Hammon" and "It is in fawless condition". Now how could you not believe a seller who has such a terrific grasp of spelling accuracy and descriptive english?????? The listing absolutely inspires one with true confidence and trust.

And then the headlines...."Genuine masamune sold for peanuts on ebay".....

 

Jokes aside,way back a chap offered me the worst bone mounted tanto I had ever seen, he wanted £100 for it!!!. The tsuka was hard and fast, the blade had been polished with chrome cleaner so no. I mentioned it to a collector in Edinburgh who bought it,turned out to be a first generation Yasutsugu....ya never know in some case's when gems disguised as junk float past
