"Japanese" sword on e-bay

I think the seller is using the word "pucker" in the Anglo/Indian form which means good or the real thing. Pucker is still in common parlance in the UK along with many other Anglo/Indian words like doolally, buckshee, shoofty not sure if that is the correct spelling, and many more. Tim

Tim:

I've only come across the British Colonial form of "pucker" in relation to people -- real, authentic, high quality -- what we might call a "stand up" guy. Is it also used to describe inanimate objects?
