not always
it all depends on collector and collection. there may be some who would not consider it nomatter how "valuable" or "desirable" it may be made, presented as or appeared to others. I, for instance, consider the blade to be a core - most important element, and the rest, if done/restored properly - reasonably acceptable. but if the blade is not authentic, it'd not matter if the rest is. and the opinions will vary.
