John A Stuart Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Any other pics? Tsuba is a modern cast replica. The rest ?? John Quote
veunknown Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Posted August 20, 2013 well these are the best one's others are just the same. Quote
Lee Bray Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Tsuba is cast, wrap looks like cotton, fittings look like pot metal, samegawa looks like plastic. Can't say anything about the blade because we can't see it. If those are the best pics the seller provides, I'd leave well alone. Quote
Brian Posted August 20, 2013 Report Posted August 20, 2013 Everything looks like it is fake. I don't see anything there resembling a real Nihonto. Brian Quote
