Kai-Gunto Posted November 25, 2013 Author Report Posted November 25, 2013 It was sold as a replica. Quote
obiwanknabbe Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 Just out of curiosity, would this add to the value of a blade if it were, in fact, the blade that appears in Slough's book? Kurt.k Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted November 25, 2013 Report Posted November 25, 2013 As everything, it depends on who buys it. Slough's is the current gold-standard for English Showa smith's. If someone thinks that there is a premium to have their sword published, then sure. If someone thinks that being is Slough's is really not a big deal, then no. Quote
