You said that you went to USPS and they confirmed it stolen? I'm curious as to what they said, when you explained that your Ring showed no one delivering. A possibility, which has happened to me, several times, is that tracking will show delivered, and it will show up a day later. Probably forgot it on the truck.

Simple advice from someone who is not in your financial position: Buy the best historically significant example you can find. I would study katana in your price range and find a trusted dealer to help in your quest
