dominnimod Posted March 1, 2016 Report Posted March 1, 2016 I know that such bad looking tangs are often from fake swords,but in some ww2 swords the tang was heavily modded to fit the tsuka so, is there any way to distinguish them?maybe inspecting the blade itself? Here are some pics i found to ilustrate my doubt,the 2º is the only one im sure about is genuine Thanks Quote
