    Seller should be clearly stating that it has been relabeled IMO....it looks horrible in my opinion, crappy job to say the least.

    Here are two - clearly stamped:
    Andrew, you mean you don't need that fake one for your collection ?
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Well to be accurate the originals are not stamped on the blade face, that is an etching. Some of the earlier ones still had a stamp on the tang, while most of them have also an etching there.
