Another Japanese Sword ID Please

I have been collecting WWII guns for 20 plus years and always wanted a samari sword. Now someone local says they have one and I need help. Is this the real thing and estimated value please.

Brodie Helmets

So, I went to an antiques store today and picked up a nice Brodie helmet with a small amount of damage to the liner in a package deal that cost me 70 bucks CAD. It is stamped "G.S.W" on the bottom, so it was manufactured by General Steelwares and Aluminum Goods of Canada. Has the chinstrap and liner, and at some point the owner wrote (Likely the one issued the helmet), "NP" across from the makers stamp. Likely initials? The package also included a mystery rifle i’ll post a thread on soon.

Need help on Hitler Jugend knife

Just picked this up from a friend.
Bill Shea COA from Ruptured Duck.
Scabbard seems too nice, and the HJ symbol does not wiggle, and may have been glued.
Thoughts are appreciated. Not doubting Mr. Shea, just covering my behind if I decide to sell.

Regards-
Jarod

Excellent driver - three different wartime versions

Recently added a couple more Excellence badges including three different wartime versions of the Excellent Driver badge. These badges are my favourite kind of badges. Just love the designs of these!!

Here’s my thee recently added wartime drivers:

And as a bonus another wartime Machinegunner plus another different version of an Excellent Artillerist. As can be seen most of these show signs of wear with loss of enamel, exactly the way I like these, that real worn combat look. Still a few more wartime Artillerist badge versions missing so the hunt is not over yet
