well was playing with my toys when i found this nskk with an copper eagle and the cross guards are ate up pretty good no hint if they were ever plated copper or not the scabbard was repainted at some point strange thing is i don't rember buying this one . I know that sounds bad but i really don't. Any thoughts why the eagle would be copper. I thought marine sa but i just don't know as for pics i can't load any on here every time i try it just locks up . thanks jim.
