Aloha,
Just want some opinions on 3 Japanese NCO swords on eBay. They are listed:
1) Japanese WWII NCO Sword, (start of bid: Sept. 22)
2) WWII Japanese NCO Shin Gunto Samurai Vet Sword WW2 (start of bid: Sept. 25)
3) WWII Japanese Officer Sword with Seal Number 17336 (start of bid: Sept. 28)
Each one has no paint on what looks like aluminum handles and are missing the sarute. Two of them seems to have the same markings on the fuchi and the other one I’ve never seen before. Why are these three nco’s have no paint on their handles? Are these fakes from China (or elsewhere) or just another variation of the nco swords?
Mahalo,
Rodney
