Honestly, we have all had to what RSWORD calls "Paying the cost of tuition" for collector's college. Most of us have learned this way.

Yes we have all been there and at some cost too!!!! It hurts for a while.

Thank you for your words of support

I'II show you it in next post.

Please, keep posting and collecting. And while collecting look, think twice and study.

I agree with other comments above relating to mistakes we have made. It is how we learn.....and even the "experts" make mistakes at some stage in their collecting.
Despite the fact that your swords are apparently not the real deal, they are still interesting, and would look good on the wall as a conversation piece.
Don't be put off posting other items you may have....we are not here to be critical of others, but to help in the sharing of knowledge.

OK I have removed the word "attractive" and replaced it with "interesting". To the non collector these would be interesting, copies or not. Our new Member is learning, as we all had to do when we started collecting.................

One more thing about the swords above.

In regard to the same numbers on both. Well, these numbers are identical because they were made in the same Chinese factory of weapon on an order of the Japanese army. Is it possible?And is it possible that Chinesse made them for special people?I mean about the inscriptions.Or maybe it is also another fairy tale.
