Newby - in need of some help from Forum Experts

[Gabonser]

Hello everybody my name is Maurice from The Netherlands, nice to able to reach out to a forum with experts.
Yesterday, i bought spontanous and without any knowledge a NCO Katana on an online weapons auction.
Reason i felt i could do that because it was listed by a thrustworthy auction house - stating that all the items are authentic.
After purchasing the lot i did my newby research ;-) Only to find out it's quite an odd one.
The auctionhouse has been helpfull sending me additional pictures where the auctioneer also told me
he personally hasn't seen this type before but that there was positive feedback within the dealers.
Maybe you experts can share a light if i bought something authentic or not.

If you want to share your opinion i'm very happy to hear it.
Blade is 72.5cm - overall length 100.5
The wheel at the end of the leather cover apprantly for small person/ so it wouldn't drag on the floor

Thanks so far, looking forward to your feedback.

Grt, Maurice

Once your account is approved you will be able to post your photos in the appropriate forum. I am sure that there are many who will be able to give your NCO Katana a proper assessment.
