I'm a new member (I used to just read as I don't have much information to give). How ever, I have just been offered a sword that I think is a type 98 (possible a type 95 NGO with a type 98 scabbard) that is in a quite worn condition. So, I would like to ask if you think this is the real deal or just a worn down copy. These are the photos I got from the seller as we have not reached a deal yet.
