Moro swords: are we facing an epidemics?

One of the sellers(who shall remain nameless here) on Ebay offering some Moro pieces is quite honest and upfront about his offerings and whether or not they are antique.

It's really quite simple...old, authentic pieces are listed under "Antiques", while later pieces, remounted old blades, etc. are listed under "Collectibles" on Ebay by him.

I also find him very honest and direct in any communication about his pieces.

I am sure many of you know who I am referring to.

Have you noticed that the same seller as put up this sword for sale. It looks almost identical to the one you bought heightening my suspicions that the sword is indeed modern.

William, i am afraid that it is against forum policy to post auctions before they have ended.

This gentleman is very honest about his listings, I recently purchased one of these blades from him because it looked very intereasting to me. I asked him what he knew about the blade and he said that he thinks they are new production from somewhere close to where he lives. I love the look of it but I think when it gets here in the next few days Ill re sell it, I made a last minute impulse buy and its not as old of a peice as Id like to keep in my collection. So if anyones looking for one Ill be posting one for sale or trade on here and ebay shortly.
