I think it is really a replica. The blade looks like a zinc alloy blade and the fittings are very low quality.
-
No longer interest?
-
I had the same feeling but I'm not sure about the nakago. Hope he will take some better pictures.
-
@Bruce can you move that thread to the nihonto section for more audience on the blade?
-
Better blade pics are needed.

Late War NCO help with date and arsenal

Real one. -
Nice sword! A very nice, well-preserved example of the 95 type, which is the most frequently copied.
-
I don't like the blade and the habaki. The Habaki is shinny and looks like the same as on the polish replica. Maybe it is assambled together from parts and the blade is fake whatever. Or it is what it is.

Are these military or just practice replicas?

Looks fake to me. -

The shinogi is round and the nakago has some grinding signs. Do what ever you wanted to do, its your sword. But I'm sure it will look terrible after you start to grind it.

Someone tried to make a kitchen knife from it. All lines are gone... Captain Dremel is on the bridge

Take a piece of weak wood and a rubber hammer. And do it very gently. You handle with a sharp blade. Keep in mind that is dangerous.
-
Real swords as Brian said. But avoid to make pictures with flash. I think that is a nice tsuba. The swords are in bad condition. Try to make better pictures without flashlight on a neutral background maybe in sunlight. I think they will look different then.
-
where did the Adam blade come from? Its older than Edo.
-
You need the opposite side (after the tsuba to the blade). Its bigger than that seppa.
-
Dale there is differnce between a patinated sekigane and hot oiled or painted copper. I think that collectors know and see the difference.
-
Are you sure that the right one is a new tsuba reworked? There are much different spots in the right tsuba. Those iato tsuba are made from zinc alloy. It is not an easy task to make such a sukashi after the modling. And the sekigane is patinated on the right one. When it is reworked someone spent a lot of hours of work on it.

Very nice George. -
Rank looks like So-Cho (Sergeant Major) would fit to the tassel.
