Chief,

I have serious doubts about this one. As Jerry says, the scabbard is not proper. Also, the hilt casting is very poor and not at all like an Au Lion that I own. The pommel nut is also quite different as well. Lastly, these blade logos are typically not stamped as clearly and as deeply as this one is. These have been faked for years so I would be quite leary of this example.
