@Rawa what prices go they for?

Late war era is fine to me.

For what i know the main type war era is the type 95 and 98, are there more?

Jelle,

you understood well that no blades are included?

@ROKUJURO yes, i am not gonna buy them.

I am searching for an intact one.

But my question was meant for other ones.

I like to know the price for the ww2 non traditionally ones (not too expensive).

Go through the Ohmura site that Marcin posted a link for.  It shows all the WWII swords.  The 95s and 98s were Army.  Navy used the Type 97 kaigunto.  There were also dress swords called Type 8/19.

 

Prices vary considerably.  Low end, with swords in poor condition - around $600-900 USD; good-excellent condition - $900-1,400; kaigunto and Army swords with traditional blades - $1,400-6,000.
