3 x Junkers or not?

Quick one...
Someone pointed me to these 3 for sale here in SA. Something that NEVER happens. Japanese sword stuff is relatively unknown in SA.
Anyways, I'm not buying. None of them do much for me. One I think may be a fake or modern cast. Or re patina'd. Or horribly photographed.
One may be real, but low class. And one, I am not sure of. May be ok, maybe not. Patina or photo again is horrible.

Seller knows nothing. Anyways, I have no interest besides hearing what others think about them. Curious. Comments?

Is postage really that cheap within SA or is it being subsided by the seller?

Oops, the 5R is just the handling fee for you collecting in person. Is it customary in SA to charge for collection in person?!

That was my feelings too. I am hoping the "patina" is just poor photos, and am still awaiting ones in better light.
I'm not buying anyways. Trying to save money. But will advise an acquaintance here accordingly.
Thanks all
