Expect to pay a large amount of money for a real nihonto. You can get authentic Japanese swords from ww II that are machine made, but "real", however not nihonto. It all depends on what you want. Study.

Thanks o lot mross!

I just expected the answer like that I can give some extra photos perhaps somebody will estimate it on the forum.
