pancitz Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 Hi Guys, I'm new here and am interested in this WW2 sword I found. I just wanted to know if this is fake or not? Thanks! Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 Yes, a fake of the NCO gunto, the giveaway is the chinese characters on the blade most of the time. 1 Quote

Dave R Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 Traditional Chinese military swords often have writing on the blade, unit designations, location, date and etc. They carry this practice over to their fakes of Japanese swords.... thankfully! 3 Quote
raynor Posted October 18, 2019 Report Posted October 18, 2019 Also the things wrong with and around the bohi is another red flag. Quote
