Auction House Misrepresents Type 95 Shin Gunto.

They have changed the description to " Chinese copy". I was quite surprised

I would think the only reason they wouldn't is because they have an in house pompous appraiser that's a self declared expert and won't budge on his opinion. Otherwise it's a good business move to re-evaluate.

That's interesting, you'll have to put up a picture or two of the lightweight. I was an apprentice with the Rover company at their London depot in Fulham, I worked on Landrovers as well as the cars. The last Model Landrover I worked on would have been a Series 2, I also worked on the 1 Ton Forward control model, the first 110" WB, before they were supplied to the army.

Incidentally, the Chinese fake sword that was for sale today didn't sell. I don't know if it was because the auctioneer kept the reserve set before I told them it was Chinese, or if nobody wanted it.
