So from what I am trying to understand one person says could this and other says could be a fake?  I do understand smiths were copied and faked a lot. Just trying to nail down the info on this before I put in safe and forget.

They're giving you two slightly different readings on the signature, it appears. Reading these old mei can be tricky for a lot of reasons. Ray is giving you his translation of what the signature implies; Jacques is giving you his and explaining to you that the signature is what we call Gimei: or a falsely made signature. It means that the signature is likely a forgery done by someone else: either with intent to deceive or in honor of that person, or for any other myriad of reasons.

I am not sure who is reading it correctly. Give the board a little more time and someone will confirm it.

Exactly right, only providing a reading and a reference for who the mei is referring to. Not saying the signature is authentic, which I have doubts on as well.
