Is it real? I use 2 different swords when I train. 1 is a WW2 NCO blade and the other is a WW2 officers blade. Also have one a couple hundred years old that I cut on pine trees with. Different way of making them but it's easy to tell that they are real. I've gone to antique shows and have been told they have signed blades for sale, uh uh, you can tell by the balance and the feel of the blade they are wrong. It's like a free lunch, no such thing. If it doesn't feel right it probably isn't.
