Dear all,
is this an authentic weapon or a later reproduction?
Any opinion welcome.
Kind regards
Andreas

Do you have any other pics of the hilt? It's hard for me to make out the details but there's something about the areas where the various pieces of the guard come together that looks like modern manufacturer to me. The oxidation looks recent, too.

Thanks for the answer. I don´t have better images, but in another forum I got the information that it is indeed a copy.

Okay, got it. Yes, the pics are bad. I asked for more/better ones, but didn´t get a reply yet.

I would suggest that you look at the other items that he has for sale. This can be a good indicator to his skill level in weeding out fakes. If you have concerns about anything in his inventory, then I would find a new dealer.
