Hey guys, first time over here in the blade forum but hoping you guys can help me out. I have what I am pretty sure is a Japanese type 32 sword. It looks to be in pretty good shape but not perfect. My question is who do I need to talk to or contact in order to get a detail estimate of condition and value. By the way the serial numbers do match on the blade and sleeve.

Here are a few pictures I just took. I can take more detailed if needed.

Type 32 1899 Japanese Cavalry sword (I believe). Mass produced and machine made blades...great history but not as collectible. I saw one sell for mid $300 a few years ago.

Nice sword. I'd keep it as a decoration myself.
