Falsely Embellished Sword
This is yet another example of a sword somewhat polished and etched that was never meant to be. Someone is just trying to create a sense of greater value calling it damascus steel.
Then later the buyer will come to a show, eagerly show you his pride and joy sword and you have to tell him the truth.
To me these are red flags, an indication of embellishment not original to item.
Will be interesting to see what happens if he sells a sword to the Vice Presidents personal physician.
