Original WWII NCO Japanese Sword or what ?

[fpicoli]

Hi,
I’ve found this sword that looks like a NCO japanese Shin gunto.
I would like some help. Is it original or a replica?
Sorry for the pictures. They are the only ones available.

From those photos I'd say replica.

This is not an original NCO sword, it’s a replica.
