I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, at least not on this forum. I can tell you that the NSKK High Leaders are real. I purchased one from a veterans son with half the original leather peeling off. It was black and had never been touched. The blade was coated with petrified grease. It was absolutely untouhced. Funny note: The sender sent it to me in a priority box with no packing or wrapping. It was just banging around in the box. There were chunks of the scabbrd leather in the bottom of the box from the chain beating the hell out of scabbard durings it trip through the mail. That's all I have to say on the matter.
