Hi and welcome to the Forum. I think 'Fake' is a suitable
term for this sword.........

Well this is weird. I tried posting this a week ago and its only come through now. I put up another post about the sword because I thought this hadnt worked. I'm sure someone will know how to delete the thread.
Thanks steve, I was very doubtful myself! I think the idea of a 'fake' is very misleading though. I prefer to see items like this as bad reproductions unless there is an intent to fool buyers!

I understand. I do not own one myself, but a friend
has a couple. The workmanship is of very high
quality, which this one does not exhibit.
Others with more experience will be along with
comments, I'm sure.........
