1. How is it possible to get a Sword Registration Card for something that is not traditionally forged?
2. Why would it command such a high price??? Currently: \348,333 (USD $3,400)
UNLESS .... The only thing I can think of is that this is a forged blade .... housed in Type-95 mounts.
Is this "one for the books"?
Japanese auction.
