NCO Gunto (?) in Java. Should i buy this?
Article about: That is a great possibility..as in the Edged Weapons Forum..we encounter endless mismatched knives and bayonets..to their scabbard counterpart..I would not doubt that the same thing happened

Hi All,
IMHO, the tang Nakago, does not even resemble a type 95 issued blade (sword).
So i concur with all who stated this to be NON Japanese.
With the atrificially aged 'crap' coming from China, i'm inclined to see this as another example.
To see what i mean, please refer to Ohmura's website, where you can clearly see the shape of the tang for a machine made and issued type 95 blade (sword).

Always buy the absolute best you can afford. Hold out for the best. Find it & if out of budget ask about payment installments. Upgrading Is hard. no one wants to buy your mistakes.

Thank you sir, i'll always remember that!

I dont know exactly from which part he got sir, but from his blog, his address is in magelang town, central java. Maybe he got that gunto from surrounding there similar when i got my mortar shell from the similar seller.

Could this be a Dutch sword..as there were Dutch colonies there..prior to WW2.
