You are correct Stephen.  I thought it was a leather saya at first, the golden color at the end threw me off.

It's fine.

Ha!  And I'm no Stephen!!! .... but yes, legit.  @Shamsy or @Stegel are the experts on these, though.  Interesting one in that the Kokura stamp and Suya stamp are switched from their normal positions.  I have heard that this happened occasionally. 

 

I see also, one of those green handled Chinese Type 32s for sale too, @BANGBANGSAN!

Not a bad sword, condition is pretty good. The switched stamps is a rare little flaw that I've only seen a couple of times before, always on the coppers. I have one in my own collection, as does Stegel. To me that makes it a far more desirable sword, but I think that's a feature that only the minority of hard-core 95 collectors would actively seek.

 

Was there actually a question here or are you just posting the auction?

[Stephen]

Interesting to see where this ends.
