The fellow above said it was a non traditional sword.
WWII showato arsenal blade). I would imagine there are quite a few out there. It looks authentic fittings and the rest. Metal scabbard. I would think it's not the same sword but maybe I'm wrong.
I payed a 1000.00 bucks dor the sword. Do you guys think i did ok? This is the 2nd sword of Japanese origin I bought. Mostly collect older american and European swords. Kirk Mollico.
