    Thank you everyone for the info. Im learning so much. A book on sword would be great to have. I liked this sword as it was pretty cheap to buy. I cannot tell yet, the sword was just shipped out today so I should have the answer to that in a couple of days

    Thank you, Chris. I would definitely like to get into buying nicer Japanese swords as long as i am able to swing the purchase. I haven't really checked the classifieds on here but that is something that I would like to do. Budget is a big thing for me so it may be a bit before I can get into the nice made swords (this is assuming the traditional ones are quite a bit most expensive). I also really appreciate the welcome and enjoy learning about swords.

    Hello Everyone, After receiving feedback in my last thread and receiving the info on how to help spot a fake, I had decided to put my feet in the water a purchase a sword https://www.ebay.com/itm/WW-II-Japanese-OFFICERS-SWORD-VET-P-U/202818913397?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 I think the condition of it is pretty good and the price seems pretty reasonable for it but what do you guys think?

    Hello everyone. I am very new to Japanese sword collecting. Having only ever bought a a type 32 (long blade) sword, I thought i might add another less expensive sword to my collection. I found this sword which i believe is a model 19 army kyo-gunto sword. The biggest issue I have with it is the markings on the blade. They don't seem to be very common at all which makes me think its a reproduction but before I buy it, could someone help me and let me know what they think.
