looks to be in ridiculously good condition for being 476 years old... I'd be skeptical of its authenticity.

First... this one belongs in the japaness swords forum. Second, I would argue that Excalibur is a much more famous sword.

The saya is the most beautiful part of this piece in my opinion.

I guess the NBTHK got this wrong too? (~900 year old blade) www.nihonto.us/YAMATO%20SENJUIN%20KO%20KEN.htmThere are heaps of old swords in great condition in Japan, they seem to have done an awesome job in preserving their history.

There are heaps of old swords in great condition in Japan, they seem to have done an awesome job in preserving their history. Very true... It makes it hard for an amature (such as myself) to identify the difference between a quality antique sword and a POS made to look like one some times... because there are so many surviving blades in very awesome condition. Passed down threw the years, a lot of them have been very well cared for. There is no reason for the blades themselves to not hold up very well over centuries... they get re-fited and re-wrapped... but the blades, if well carred for, can last who knows how long.

I LOVE this sword. One of the few that I'd buy a reproduction of without a second thought, though I think Masamune was more famous as far as Japanese smiths go. God I love that hamon.

It said "Signed Juyo Muramasa, VERY RARE" up there..
"VERY RARE" It means... this Muramasa Blade is more than one right?
