Ww1 Katana?

[hacsek]

Dear All,

 

would appreciate your opinion on this sword.

I know that the pics might not help much.

I'm just looking for confirmation if it's a WW 1 sword, and how much you'd think it is worth to pay for.

 

Appreciate all help I can get.

Regards

Looks like it was made last month in China...

China version of a ww2 kai gunto. What is worth? It's a deco piece. How much would you pay for deco.

Thanks a lot, the owner says it has only been polished, that's why it looks like this.

Price is EUR 1,5k ))

Yeeeowww! Don't do it! The steel is "damascus" steel which is used by Chinese fakers, NOT Japanese. NONE of the fittings are accurate for Japanese. Like the guys said already - it's a Chinese fake of a WWII Japanese sword.

 

The Chinese sell these on fleaBay for 150 USD.
