I have been asked to assess what looks to me like a rather clean Type 95 Non-com's sword - round iron tsuba with top lock. Base on pictures it retains most of the paint on the tsuka and seems 'clean." It has been a long time since I had any contact with this market. I'd appreciate guidance.

Peter,

By "assess" do you mean estimate value?

 

Showa22 is selling them from $650 to $1,400.  Monkey is selling them for $2,800 (HA!).  Somewhere in the middle of Showa's range is a fair price.  I had a hard time selling mine at the height of the COVID slowdown for $900, but prices SEEM to be slowly rebounding.
