Spoken like a true lawyer....
By fake I mean a low (or lower) quality weapon produced en masse or in small series, using contemporary techniques and with the purpose of presenting it as a real antique item and selling it for a price appropriate for a real item.
A "fake" can be :
-"total" (Witness Chinese " eximious Japanense samurai commanding officer katana in a rosewood vagina"
-"partial" ie old blade in contemporary scabbard etc
There may be others.
Quoting Bill -the -Prez, " it depends on what your definition of is is"
Did I pass the bar?
