Scogg Posted January 11, 2024 Report Posted January 11, 2024 These have all the hallmarks of modern made reproductions or fakes. These are the kinds of swords you can find at the shopping mall or on Amazon best of luck, -Sam Quote
The Blacksmith Posted January 11, 2024 Report Posted January 11, 2024 The saya on the katana may be genuine, but that looks like it is possibly the only bit that is? 1 Quote
ChrisW Posted January 11, 2024 Report Posted January 11, 2024 I don't think there's anything real about these two, sorry about that! If you bought them recently, definitely try to get your money back. 1 Quote
Guest Simon R Posted January 11, 2024 Report Posted January 11, 2024 I think you should add 'Japanese Sword Books' to your shelf. Quote
raaay Posted January 12, 2024 Report Posted January 12, 2024 they look like the Spanish reproduction swords, that you seen in the tourist shops in Spain many years ago !! 1 Quote
suketaka Posted January 12, 2024 Report Posted January 12, 2024 @raaay you are right. I own such a piece many years ago. Bought it in Spain. 1 Quote
Guest Simon R Posted January 13, 2024 Report Posted January 13, 2024 Well...... it's not 19th Century ..... and it's not a 'samurai sword' because no samurai ever owned it (nor, in fact, any Japanese person, ever). But, apart from that, you're spot on. Quote
