I agree the tunkou (habaki) is all wrong and very modern looking. The wood at the tip of the scabbard looks more aged than old.

I like posted prices, and several times a low price has prompted me into an impulse buy. Nevertheless, I do not think there needs to be a rule. While I hate having to ask for a price, I have had...

overpriced or fake?

I see these often on eBay for a high price. I think the ones with age are early 20th c. copies of Qianlong styles, but this one I think was made yesterday. What do you think?
