Bearing in mind Jon that the presence of the Ashi and leather combat cover would indicate it saw service in WW2. More likely than not. Many civilian swords were pressed into service by choice or necessity due to material shortages.

Impressive!

I wish you good luck Ian.

No offence Ian but you may have to add at least 1k AUD to that and even then it probably won't be in very fine condition. Just reality I'm afraid.....have you done any research on pricing?

Hi Bruce, did I miss something somewhere? Can't see any reference to this in the post.

Tks mate.

Hi AK1, Do you have a first name, Forum Rules and besides its just nice to talk with someone by name. Rob

Just another 'post and run' it appears Bruce...Shaun is clearly AWOL like too many others these days. Maybe a very good reason for the 4 day delay for any sort of response after OP but if not, its just bloody bad manners in my view.

Hi John, if you were lucky enough to have paid for this via PayPal, I'm sure you have enough information (and therefore claim) to get your money back through them...essentially you paid for something you didn't receive and I am sure they cover that. Rob

Wow I can't get over how close the [imitated] copper Type 95 tsuka is when looking at the above examples.

They have been taking 'notes' from the "Fake Type 95" threads on NMB . Getting to be a real worry.

Welcome Kristie, A couple of things. Firstly, you need to put a for sale price on your post (forum rules). Also a couple of details would be good...such as, does the number on the blade match the number on the scabbard throat? A clear pic of the blade # would be helpful. Maybe a pic of the full scabbard. Some of the pics posted are good as you have focused on relevant parts but if your unfamiliar with describing one of these early Type 95 NCO sword then the more pics the better. Rob

Hi Calvin @rodeocb34 It would be great if you could ask whoever is responsible for that sword to please get some oil on the blade as an interim measure to look after it. That is active rust if I'm not mistaken. It's slowly dying. Rob

That was her one bag which is only used for dramatic effect. Bugs, she had her two bag in the baggage compartment which she picked up later. I thought everyone knew that

Ohhhh JC that is soo good
