"VIRGIN"

[Rod]

I am curious.....

What do you think is the probability that the items especially imperial swords being advertised for sale today are really original items not being "repaired" or "enhanced" by previous owners (kitchen table "craftsmen") ???

I realize that some on these items are close to or more than 100 years old and some "maintenance" is in order and actually appeciated by future owners. BUT......

Parts are available and seem to beg being used.

I am being more and more skeptical.......

Perhaps this is a dumb question with an obvious answer but I think it should be raised.

I just hate to spend BIG bucks for something that has been seriously tinkered with.

Hi Rod, stick to established, trusted dealers with many years of experience and you should do OK
