Hi guys,

 

here is another fake - "Shinto" wak worth over $ 3000.00

Stephan,

 

I don't think it makes much sense to post fakes here, unless you find something crafted so exceptionally well that it could pass for nihonto. Or was your post a question about the authenticity of the blade? ;)

Hi Mariusz,

 

You are basically correct. But I was surprised here that the seller is making so intentially wrong statements about this sword (Shinto, worth over $ 3000.00, from 19th century) that I thought this should be mentioned here.

 

But I agree that there is nothing you can learn here, except that this is not a sword you should be looking for :-)

 

Regards,

 

Stephan
