[QUOTE=asomotif]Dear Lew,
A recent copy of this quality seems not likely to me.
Asomotif
By recent I mean the last 20 yrs or so. I just can't get by that new shellac look on the scabbard and the ultra new/clean red fabric with the pure white stitching it's screaming newly made at me. I usually have a good eye for detail when it comes to these things. It could be a marriage between an older hilt mid 20th century blade and a newly made scabbard
