If you did study the sword as i did on these pictures, your alarmbells should have ringed. Even the machine made WWII japanese swords are well executed and do not show grinded fillings as the scabbard shows. Also the mountings are of a cheap moulded quality.

Hi Donsamadhi. Welcome to the Forum.
Just for comparison, here are some pics of a Japanese Military, Type-95, NCO Shin-Gunto Officers sword manufactured at the Tokyo Arsenal between 1935-1945. Hope this gives you a better idea of what to look for.

So, there aren`t such type of swords which are authentic(with dedication from imperator).These ones I showed are just the idea of Chinese.Well, I see there is no reason to continue this subject.Thank you anyway for all information, links and photos.
It would be the warning for other novice collectors

Best regards.
