Recently, one of our newer members, Average Joe, posted looking to find out just what he had in his collection. One of them was a Japanese Type 32 NCO Saber from the late 1800s; odd as it sounds, I was instantly attracted to it for some reason, so I went looking to see if there were any contemporary versions of the sword on the market. I only found a single one, but there's a bit of a problem. It's by Deepeeka and, after reading all the reviews of them on SBG, I'm a little scared of their track record. Add to the fact that there's next to no information on the sword and you can see why I'm a little leery.

Anyone have anymore information on it or know where I might be able to find a quality reproduction?

The manufacturer and retailer information is incorrect. The type 32 is a cavalry trooper sword from the 19th century. The production of them (I believe) had discontinued by WWII.

Steins pages are down right now from sever load but a general internet search will point these out.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT
