Seem like one of thos fantasy weapons that came straight out of a comic book.

those are some sweet looking gauntlets. I hope it is real. It will be bad *** if an entire suite of armor was made like that.

They look WAY too fantasyish to be real. Might be wrong though.

my, they looked frightening, imagine facing an army of them armed with them.

It looks like something Vincent from FF7 might wear.

same opinion (though there's been lots of crazy things that are real too)

it' also made of copper

if it was armor/weapon then wouldn't copper be a rather useless metal? Then it is some kind of decoration

It looks really neat though, I like how spikes come out from the back of the hand.

Look through the other items he has for sale and see if those also seem authentic.

I saw a 'Qing dynasty samurai statue, bronze' which seems... well, doesn't seem like something the Qing would do.

On a closer look,
Most of those weapons...just stray too far from what I've seen before to be real.
The bronze sword he was trying to sell has the funkiest scabbard ever, and the blade and hilt look Song style rather than Qin or pre qin.
And, the sheep skin covered bow is just something I didn't know whether to laugh or cry about; who covers their bow in fur?
And the maces...look just unlike any chinese mace I've seen before.

Most of that crap can fool people who don't know anything, though it's hard if you have the tiniest bit of knowledge.
