This sword and helmet are at a local show, sword seems a little light, and doesn't smell old. They are a package deal. Any thoughts?

| In my opinion, the sword fittings do not look good, actually I am fairly certain they are knockoffs. The sword itself looks close, but I cannot see enough detail. Due to the fittings being fake, I would say the sword is also a fake. I am no authority on helmets, so I have no opinion on the helmet. tnak |

Does it looks fake? For me, it looks antiques.

Notice how wobbly the edges on the tang are. China made for sure
