Neon-Toe

Many thanks for the replies! A part of me did wonder if I'd missed something, but glad it seems likely I didn't!

Many thanks! This is the only other image I saved if it's of interest

Hi, I've seen a couple of claimed wwii gunto's up for auction in the last couple of months in the UK, but to my untrained eye, the Kabuto-gane ( hope this is the correct term!) and the odd flattened top loops seemed off - I've attached two different examples. I only saw off as I couldn't see anything like this on any site showing lots of examples of wwii swords. Quite enjoy reading about the more common fakes so would be interested to know if this is a common sign, or alternatively if it could be legitimate. I didn't buy either so no urgency, purely curious!
