Stuff like this is pretty common on facebook, but here our objective is learning from actual historic examples in the main body of text. These kinds of questions are best handled privately.

No offense intended to Serdar, just clarifying the protocols that we try to maintain. It sounds as if he already had a good idea of the answers to questions.

No problem, but how will you learn if you dont post picture and ask?
Books are limited, people also, but www people are best of both.

Yes i doubted in its originality, marks are wrong, blade, basket etc. But you never know, and only when i took it in hand i can declare something ok or not ok, it was a false sword, latter i found out it was sold by the same person i acquired a polish sword that was a fake.
