I mostly collect American items, but that is a very Impressive piece! If you’re interested, you should check out my channel (Bigelow #1) keep up the great videos!
Thought I'd make a comment prior to watching this... My uncle just passed down to me a "world war 2 Japanese NCO sword.." He has had this for over 50 years, it was passed to him from a WWII American soldier (although my uncle shared with me the specifics on how this sword was obtained, out of respect I'll not disclose that here). I have no reason to believe this sword to be fake, however, this shall be an interesting video to confirm what I already know to be real. Okay let's see what this gentleman has to share!
That’s a really nice item! Love the condition of it!
Thank you! Yeah it's in good shape with just the right amount of "been there" wear on it.
Amazing piece of history!
Thank you!
Really nice thanks for info as well.
Nice katana!!

That sounds like a really interesting piece! I hope my video was able to help.
Great pice! You know why they installed a "trigger" on the Suba?
Thank you! Yeah that piece latches into the sheath, locking the sword in place.
@@AHumbleCollector i thought that. Thanks for your respond. Nice greetings from austria!
Nice katana bro
Thank you!
You should collect more blades!
Agreed, I could definitely do with a few more.
where can i get one?
Your best bet is from a militaria dealer. This one came from SV Militaria, I'm not sure if they have any others for sale.
A serial no??
That's correct, factory made blades were serial numbered, just like a lot of other factory made equipment.
I cant believe people in japan are not allowed to own them,
