1 exceptional condition antique World War II Japanese NCO sword available.  This WW2 Japanese NCO sword would make a fine addition to any collection.

The sword and scabbard serial #'s match.  The sword's serial # is 145998, and the scabbard's serial # is 145998.  The blade measures 26 3/8" from tip to top of the habaki (habaki edge that touches the blade).  

There are only a few tiny, nail-catcher type nicks in the blade edge.  They are a little hard to see—they can mostly just be felt by sliding the blade edge along your finger.  The blade has an occasional spot of oxidation on it.  This sword has exceptional handle paint.  This is an excellent example.
