timborama2001 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Hi recently purchased this sword. It has a Damascus Blade with brass bird figures on the handle under the wrap. It is signed on the blade handle. Please see pics and help me with anything you might know about this piece. Thanks in advance. I would like the age and maker possibly. Quote

Grey Doffin Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Your sword was made in hurry, most likely very recently in China. Grey Quote
W K Clifford Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 very cheap fake sword possibly made in China within the last 10 years Quote
cisco-san Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 I am almost sure that it is not real Japanese sword --> seems Chinafake Quote
moss Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 Maybe we will next see this beauty on Ebay. There are a few sellers here in Oz that could move that baby. Cheers Moss Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 It has a Damascus Blade... By Damascus do you mean Fake? If so, I agree it is a Damascus blade. Hopefully, this isn't an expensive lesson for you! :? Quote
oneshot onekill Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 I'm a newbie... I got lucky with mine (I think). Only paid $79.00 for it... on Ebay... but it looks a lot like yours! Sorry man! I've since caught the "Nihonto Bug" and have bought 2 more blades... Real ones this time! Quote
