    Hi Chaps.
    A guy I work with asked me if I could find out anything about this sword that belonged to his Grandfather, who swopped it at the end of the war for his Greatcoat.
    The blade and scabbard are matching numbers.
    Would appreciate any information anyone can give, as well as a value.
    Best regards
    Mark

    Yes, nice post. I'm sure the experts here will tell you what it is. I'm not an expert, but tell your friend the soldiers took their family inherited swords into battle with them, and this one is not al old one, and doesn't appear to have a signed tsuba, so is not among the more valuable. Is there a pin in the handle you can pull out to see the tang, if it is signed?

    Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately I do not have the sword, and only took pictures, but I can ask when I see him tomorrow.
    Cheers.

    The NCO pattern swords are all period machine made and as RH1941 states, not meant to be taken apart as it serves no purpose.

    Thank you Bob for correcting me. I had a japanese`sword that had a singlr wooden peg easily removed to slide the handle off. Was that typical? Mine had a signed tang and tsuba.

    The officer models had a removable bamboo tapered pin, which allowed for the sword to be broken down for maintenance. The NCO swords had no such feature and were intended to never be broken down.

    Without seeing/knowing more about the blade value is difficult to attach. If the cutting edge is free of nicks and all is tight then perhaps 650-700. If the blade surface is free of rust and discoloration then perhaps a couple hundred more.

    Regards,
