There is many issues with this type of fake , everything. Its a nonen fake sold on ebay.

Buy books first ,find other sword collectors and then buy Your first sword.

Please do not be put off from posting It would be a good idea to show potential buy's beforehand as you will always receive good feedback from members here that will give you expert advice before money changes hands Another tip would be the price of the item as originals of this type of sword can reach high valuations !

For those of us who have experience with the fakes from China, further pictures are not necessary. This Forum prides itself on explaining why things are fake. More detailed pictures will allow us to point out what stands out as a clear indication of this sword being a fake. This way, the thread can also become a teaching tool not only for the individual who bought this sword, but also hopefully educate others so they avoid making the same mistake. Without sharing detailed knowledge, we can appear to be an intellectual elite who prefer hoarding their knowledge.
