Do I have an authentic Falchion?

Yes, I have asked for a return and refund. It is clear from the feedback I've received that this is a modern piece. Someone said it may indeed be "antique", as in 100+ years old, but certainly not medieval. The question is whether $350. is a fair price. I love the feel of this piece, and would keep it if it was worth $350. But not if its just some $75. cheap fake

We are not giving valuations here.
I am sure it is not an authentic sword and not even a well made reproduction. Crudely made, with no relation to how the real stuff looked, poor aging technique.
If you like it, though, keep it as a "conversation point". I am not sure the discussion will go in the right direction

but it sure will be amusing
