I dont care if its silver or not, but just want to know if its real ww2 era and not an fake one,

So you think the katana itself is real and the cover not?

Is there a way to see if its fake?

What was the reason this one has an wooden blade?

Because they are selling the fittings only, and that is how fitting are displayed, with a wooden dummy blade called a tsunagi.

What katana? Is there a blade somewhere? 
Honestly…..this looks made up from assorted bits and pieces.

He probably meant "katana" as koshirae and cover - leather parts.

You clearly see blade is made of wood. But this tsuba ... Mimi [oval part of tsuba] should be smooth so it won't gather dirt right? Its proper military design I suppose.

Boyz do we have any thread with gunto fakes and replicas? Maybe we should make one so I could dig net fir those. We have one for NCO which is still hot.

I agree with Colin.

I think it's an assortment of genuine WW2 era parts that have been put together after the war; and likely outside of Japan.

We have various threads in the Military Swords section that feature different Gunto and relevant fittings. With the many variations of gunto (94, 95, 98, Type 3/100/rinji, Kyu, Kai, etc?...) it's probably easier to address each sword individually rather than have a fake gunto thread that covers them all. Either way, I don't think this koshirae would belong in a "fake" discussion anyway. @Bruce Pennington thoughts?

All the best,
