Perfect

Hi everyone! Thanks for the great feedback! To answer the questions, it's not terribly humid here, at least it doesn't feel that way, partly due to the cold. I'm not really into polishing, just interested in keeping rust away Yeah, the oils I have definitely have some lubricants (I typically use a spray, but I have some other ones). I might put some oil on the habaki and the locking mechanism since that is where there is some movement.

Hello everyone! I have some questions regarding taking care of my Type 95. Is it okay to oil them with gun oil to prevent rust? (if yes, just the blade? Or other parts?) What type of container should I store it in? Do any of you keep them in display cases or anything like that? I live in a very cold area, so would I want to avoid storing it in my attic? Thanks!

Fantastic, I'll check that out Is there any way to determine the approximate year from the serial number and type? I'm curious about that.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm still pretty new to the hobby so I appreciate the help!

Recently purchased this sword. Is this an authentic NCO sword? From what I understand about the markings: Nagoya stamp on the blade and scabbard. Font looks correct to me as well. Seller also seemed reputable to me. Is there anything I'm missing? I still have a rather healthy return window. Thanks!
