Found on an auction site, I don't like it (don't like the 'bone' grip, the etch, the damascus blade, the whole thing looks too new).
I captured these pics from the site.
What is our opinion?

I think you summed this piece up just about right, horrible, repro grip and blade.

I wish all fakes were so easy to spot.

Nice looking pommel.
Think it's real or fake?

The crossguard, pommel, scabbard and hangers look original with the crossguard and pommel gently cleaned. I would think the gold on the swaz is recently applied.
