Grey Doffin Posted August 12, 2011 Report Posted August 12, 2011 Hi Albert, Says made yesterday in China. This is a fake; sorry. Grey Quote
sencho Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 ... and as chinese rubbish goes, a particularly nasty one! If your chosen hobby is Japanese swords, Albert, you need to hit the books, learn lots from the NMB and also scour the (above) linked Nihonto sales sites, to attune your brain to immediately detect genuine from fake.... Don't waste your time with ebay... probably only one in every thousand "Japanese" swords on there is genuine. Within a few months, you will look back at this post a wonder how you could have even thought for one minute that this was anything but a nasty fake... I remember that day quite well... Quote
sanjuro Posted August 13, 2011 Report Posted August 13, 2011 It really doesn't matter what is written on the habaki. This is not a nihonto..... Not even Japanese. Quote
