WW2 sword last ditch

[Swords]

Looking for help Do these last ditch swords have any value ? This one looks nicer than others I have seen 

[dkirkpatrick]

i would guess 600-850 depending on presentation /pictures.  Looks to be a nice example suppose it could touch a grand with great pictures on the right day..  This based on what i see on ebay, I recommend waiting for the experts to chime in.

EVERY sword has value!  Maybe your question means - are these going for high prices?  Post-COVID prices have rebounded.  You can find them in the range Doug mentioned, but I think that's because the sellers don't know what they have.  Pricing in the $1,400 range is more in-tune.  Some are being sold for more than that.  They are less common, not rare, but less common than the aluminum handled 95s, so simply on suppy-demand, they tend to ring up higher than the aluminums.

Are the serials usually so haphazardly stamped?

dkirkpatricks prices are more in line with the market —and more the higher end of his range estimate.

Steve, I agree with Doug and Matt above.... in regard to the current worth or value of this late Type 95 (i.e. US $600 to $850) and $900 would be top end.  It is clear that some ebay sellers are asking far more ridiculous prices for these but....are they getting that price?  I doubt it.  

 

Brian...from my observation, yes, quite often haphazardly stamped certainly more so than earlier Type 95 versions..
