Unsure of value... Help needed please!!!

Again both real, all you can really say from the images is they've had acid hybrid polishes.

 

We could do with some images of the nakago?

this is the top sword in the first pic, not sure if you can see it but it has the showa stamp on the tang

 

 

 

and this is from the second sword which is the smallest with engravings on both sides.

Those other two swords are definitely real. The above one is a kai-gunto (marine sword), the other a shin-gunto. The blades look better than the first one and seem to be real gendaito. I'm still very unsure about the first blade, though. Even if it's no fake as a whole, I guess the hamon is acid etched or faked in some other way.

 

Just my two Yen,

i'm not sure of its true value and strangely the sword collector/dealer who has looked at it is has asked to get back to him if i have offers and he will try and beat it

It would be interesting to read what the "sword collector/dealer" had to say about the sword as I'm assuming that he's viewed it 'in hand' or maybe that's not the case.
