Hello everyone, I am watching 3 sword on eBay right now. I believe that the first one is a chinese fake but 2 other ones look like a real deal. What do you guys think?

Thanks

Oleg

they are all real, or genuine. none (obviously the 2 NCO) appear to be anything special

the first and the third is genuine NCO gunto ... machine made blade

 

the second is type 98 gunto ... showato, if Im not mistaken ... nothing special but with so few pics of the blade, you should be careful :D

I dont know about the first one because it looks like one of those Chinese fakes that you see on ebay. They have similar patina, proof marks and scabbard.

it is a real thing ... but the blade is machine made ... thus this kind of swordis only worth as military relic ... :D

well, abviously 1st one is nco gunto aluminum handled version. However, i dont like the paint on saya and tsuka looks too good for a 70 year sword and patina on tsuba looks similar to a fake Chinese copy below.
