Takouba tat or real deal ?

Hi guys it looks like the real deal to me it has twin crescent moons struck on each side of blade ,but to my mind the blade seems a wee bit flimsy is this usual ? Would like to get your comments cheers graeme .

Hi,

To me, that Takouba looks real, plus with a very nice patina to the blade, just dont forget to clean that active rust from the blade.

Very much real, just a little worn.

I too was surprised at how thin, 'springy' and sharp these blades are.
