Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

As I said in earlier post will post bring back sword and here they are. Top one may or may not be NCO. It is missing the binding and had the sharkskin glued and painted on.
Middle one has a wooden grip carved to look like the traditional sword.
Bottom ones grip is aluminum cast to look like the traditional sword but has a serial number and a groove in the blade.
These also came from the same mans bring backs as did the pistols from earlier posts.

The hilt (Tsuka?) only comes off the top one and it is marked but I can't see it well enough to copy and see if any can read it.
