Yours looks identical to this one and believe me its a complete fake. I sent mine back and had to paypal dispute to get a refund. It was very modern. Your sis also identical length as the one I had.
I have a genuine Masaki Ryu chain and yours does not look like one. It looks similar in profile but the fundo is way too thin, and not big enough.
Does the letter of authenticity you will provide come from you or from the original owner. Can you provide proof that it is an antique.
