@Scogg I was 95% it was a fake. It didn’t seem right, but I thought I’d pass it by more informed individuals. The guy who’s selling it is convinced it’s authentic Japanese and has a ridiculously high price set on it. I just wanted to be certain it has no legitimacy of being authentic before I passed on it.

Looks like the tip is in bad shape, as well as being fake.
