Without handling the sword, I tend to think it is a fake. I am suspitous of the red material round the scabbard mouth. There is something to me not quite right about the all over corrosion and the red stuff seems untouched and quite fresh. I would have to agree the blade is rather good. Tim
P.S , I also have worries about the brass ring on the pommel.
