I'm looking for an NCO katana for my son for Christmas. I'd like to keep it under $1000.  Anyone have suggestions on reputable sellers so I don't end up buying a knockoff?

You should ask on the nihonto forum, there is a section on military swords of Japan.  Is your son a collector of Japanese military or does he just like swords?  For that price point you could get a fairly nice antique wakizashi that is traditionally handmade rather than a machine made war sword.

Thanks. I'll be checking these out

He's into WW2 stuff. He started a handgun collection and has a P08, P38 and a C96 so far. He also has a fallschirmjaeger gravity knife.

my grandpa brought back a sword from the pacific but it went to my cousin. I have a flag he brought back. My other grandpa brought back a K98, youth knife and a dress bayonet.
