William Jennings Posted July 18 Report Posted July 18 Hello everyone. I have a chance to buy this sword but before I do I wanted to get your opinion. I’m concerned it may be a replica. The Tsuba looks off to me and the number stamped on the habaki is unusual to me. The blade looks to be signed but unsure if you can make it out with the pictures the seller sent me. Anyways, what are your opinions? Quote
ROKUJURO Posted July 18 Report Posted July 18 Yes, a SOSHU KANETOMO signed attempt to make an imitation. Quote
