  1. Are there any genuine Japanese swords with painted fittings like that? Or is that a giveaway it's fake?
  2. The blade has imperfections in it like it is folded but doesn't look like Damascus to me.
  3. How can you tell by the blade? The Chinese ones I have seen look Damascus and this one doesn't.
  4. Hi, I am looking at buying what the seller claims to be a genuine old Japanese sword, I am new to Japanese swords, as I collect cavalry sabres which he had 2 that I purchased, but this sword looks like a Chinese knockoff to me but as I don't know I thought I would ask others before I walk away.It is also unsigned on the tang. Can anyone translate the tsuba?
