Been reading in the archives that there's been some issue with fake hen and roosters... I've been watching some on eBay and don't know enough to know whether these are real or fake so I thought I'd ask you guys before I plunked down any money. Doesn't look like anything is stamped on the tang, and I thought that was the distinguishing thing to look for from what I've read but again I don't know enough to be sure :)

(the second guy has several in his eBay store, I suspect if one is real they all are and vice versa).
Thanks!
