I think both are authentic. first is with kofgari, 2nd is with gold inlay but most of the inlay has gone. Both are authentic according to me. What I am especially not sure is ,if they are definite maker stamp or not. Perhaps just some prayers on the blade. And, if you have pictures of those obvious fake stamps, I would like to see them for experience

regards
