hybridfiat Posted March 23, 2008 Author Report Posted March 23, 2008 It's just tired and also gimei So the hamon has been enhanced? I assume all signatures to be gimei until proven otherwise on Ebay. Quote
pcfarrar Posted March 24, 2008 Report Posted March 24, 2008 It's just very tired. Looks like core steel coming through, and the temper has become weak. I would avoid this sword... Quote

I wasnt going to buy it. I was gaining knowledge. Learning a bit about the appearance of swords pictured on the net is helpfull. Diserning what is valuable and what isnt is not easy for the novice.
