Jon, you need lots of study before you try to buy a real Nihonto.  Otherwise you'll waste money on blatant Chinese fakes like this one; it sure is ugly.  Buy books and attend sword shows; see the real thing and you won't be fooled again.

Jon,

We are teasing you  so you'll have to tough that out. The reality is that this signature LOOKS pretty good until you start to read it. Then it falls apart into jibberish. The fittings are easier. They are fantasy trash from the get go. I urge you to find and get to know other sword collectors in your area. Visit them. Look at real swords. You don't have to buy stuff, just go see some swords. Looking at a few real signatures will let you see what is wrong with this sword.My experience is that real sword collectors like to look at their swords with other people who are interested in them.
