MattS Posted April 23, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2020 I know many are made in China and many more are posted online only to be dubunked as modern forgeries. I wonder where they go because I hardly ever see them advertised for sale. Are they getting sold to unsuspecting collectors offline? Destroyed and disposed of? Put back in closets for future generations to figure out? I've seen some really convincing fake army officer's shin guntos online and would like to buy one as a filler (because I don't have $1400+ for a real one), but I'll be darned if I can find an affordable repro.

warguy Posted April 23, 2020 Share #2 Posted April 23, 2020 Garage sales. I think those unknowing souls who hit garage sales or estate sales jump on these if one is offered for sale thinking they hit the jackpot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
