Interested in this WWII Japanese sword

QUESTION: Is this a decent sword for 60.00?

I'm not willing to fork over 300 dollars for a sword, (I dont have the money, actually) but this particular sword looked like a good buy, if only for swinging around in my backyard.

I would appreciate it if you could take a look, and perhaps give a few words of valuable insight.

ANSWER: The sword itself is actually not bad for the money. I have personally found that the Musashi Brand Swords (such as this one) are very good value for money at this end of the market.

The seller, I have never heard of however and worry a little bit about that...

Have a look at here at Trueswords.com - they have an almost identical sword from the same manufacturer (for the same price) and their customer service is peerless, so if there is a problem with your order you won't get the cold shoulder or a 'so what' email reply.

Hope this helps.
