![]() It's a part of collecting! ![]() I remember, not so long ago, I paid a small fortune for a Chinese Dao of supposedly imperial connection, only to realise it is a cheap replica/fake. I managed to force a full refund from the seller via the eBay customer protection, but I had to pay a significant sum to have the sword appraised by an authorised expert. And that was a lucky instance. There were a couple of other instances where I got my swords from some US auctions, only to realise they were replicas... and had no return/refund option. In the end, I managed to sell them as replicas/wall hangers for less than 1/10 of what I have paid. |

My mistake - I bought her on one image and description of the seller ...
But you're right - It's a part of collecting! ![]() |

I think you ask the question because you get your doubts byself already when you hold it in your hands, so you have learned already. I've learned for example to study a type of sword/knife I want to have before I buy it. Don't be angry about yourself, in future you will look very good to something you may find interesting, it will be burned in your brain/remembering. Regards, Detlef |
