NCO opinions please

[HunterSS]

Thanks for all the opinions and information. It is what it is.......I still think it will look good on my wall......can’t afford a period IJN sword at this time. Spent my kitty on SS and police edged weapons this year. I’ll pick up another 95 this year.....but haven’t seen many of these. And like it has always been said, collect what you like. Course, I’d never try to pass it off as period. Still a damn good looking blade.
Collected some Hakata figures a few years ago. They were made for resale specifically for a certain PX for our Korean veterans. It’s not German Allach.....but I like the intrinsic beauty of the pieces for what they are.

Sorry but the days of good original NCO katanas for $650 are long gone. Expect to pay double that now..:

Hi HunterSS,
The sword you picked up is beautiful and will look great displayed. Please post some pics when you get your display done.

I bet there will be more swords in your future.
