I just would like to say from the onset that the dealer who is offering this sword for sale here in Japan is honest and a gentleman. However, he may not know it, but he has an obvious fake for sale. The filemarks, the way the mei is chiselled and the hamon look as the guy who forged this had his eye on the Yasukuni book the whole while making this thing.

The only that is genuine are the mounts.

If someone wants to buy a sword, the best way is to ask this dealer to guarantee a sword by submitting bit to the NBTHK shinsa. If he would agree to refunding ones money if it bounces, then, its fine. But meantime, beware....
