It is a fake; I would genuinely recommend looking at the seller's store - it is a rather unique representation of "high" to "zero" quality modern reproes from Georgia.

Yet another of Comrade Kharanauli's "masterpieces".....
This seller has an amazing potpourri of shashkas with older blades and new, but well made, scabbards. I guess the sophistication of Georgian imitators improves by leaps and bounds. Soon we shall not be able to differentiate real stuff from modern imitations. A lesson to all of us supporting renaissance of local swordmaking: be careful what you wish for, you may just get it |

hmmmm, you're suggesting the originality of the piece just looking at the other items that seller sells? Have you any other points to say that is not original? I also know that seller and his usual crap for sale, but this time it is a little bit different. Thatone could be original. Why? Let me ask you a question: How could someone make such a perfect copy without even knowing what is he copying? and further, it looks really good.
Personally I'm unable to see any fault on that palache and if it is really a repro we should sold-out our collections in time. |
