I see here there are a few mini 2nd Lufts that people are calling fake. I'm just wondering what you all think of this one. I'm fairly certain it is a period piece.

Looks correct to me. Although I can't tell from the angle of the pictures, being marked SMF, the scabbard should be rather flat and the top of the crossguard should be void of design unlike the Alcosos which feature scrolling.
Cool

Looks good to me. Why are they calling it a fake?

Dale, I had it on the "for sale" forum a while back and had a buyer but he seemed to back out of the sale because he thought it might be fake, which it is not. Maybe just a convenient exscuse to back out of buying it.

It's the real thing, and still for sale. Maybe I'll put it back on that forum again sometime.

Hi Kohl,

I like it too. I'm confident mine's a period piece and, save for the portepee, I'd say they could be a twins! ~ Ian
