Unfortunately the whole sword is of modern chinese origin. Best to seek a refund is possible. 

There is no need to achieve anything. Before buying a thing, I try to discuss it on the profile forum.

If it is, that’s the first time I see a red copper handle with stamped and not cast stamps. But I guess there’s a first for everything. :(

Many things wrong with this.  The Ko and Suya stamps are getting scary good, but the TO inspector stamps are crap, both on the tsuka and the blade.  Copper handles never go above the 6XXX serial range.  The drag on the saya is too fat. Just to name a few. 

 

I've compared it to a legit for some points:

Hello Alex,

                   As Bruce points out a fake but a pretty well made one...If it’s cheap always handy to have around to remind you of what to look for when a genuine one turns up......A study piece so to speak..books are invaluable but no substitute for hands on....

Regards,

               Paul..
