Re: Please help me ID this sword!
These photos seem to hide more than they show...are better photos available?
cheers, Glenn

Re: Please help me ID this sword!
Hey Glenn,
Unfortunately, those are the only two photos he has provided - though I can ask him for more detailed ones. Which areas should I ask him to focus on?

Re: Please help me ID this sword!
Close-ups of any Maker's Mark, clearer photos of the grip and that eagle/swastika (not impressed, the pics are so dark)...I hope others will offer their opinions.

Re: Please help me ID this sword!
The soft detailing and the very crude and unusual swastika does not "instill a whole lot of confidence".....Indian or Chinese manufacture?

It looks like a modern Chinese poor quality copy to me. Which is what I believe some better pictures will show. Fred

Hi Mark! Welcome to the forum....yes please by all means..when you get the opportunity..more photos would be useful. Some of our seasoned collecotrs can detect a fake just by a few photos and under poorly lit conditions..but for total reference purposes..as Big MacGlenn specifically popinted out areas of interest. Enjoy your stay here..take alook around..there is alot to see...Regards Larry

Re: Please help me ID this sword!
I would have to agree, very poor detailing,the lions head looks more like a Chinese dragons,and generally the craftsmanship is lacking ,the swastika is very suspect

Re: Please help me ID this sword!
Looks nothing like my lion head sword, and mine is original

Re: Please help me ID this sword!
