(this 2 sword was sold for ~ 1400 $ for each ) My budget such - 1400-1600 $ ....
Grey Doffin Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 I have a sword by Kato Jumyo on ebay that will end Sunday evening my time; could be a bargain. http://www.ebay.com/itm/301769419618?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649 Grey
Shamsy Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 You've said type 94 but sounds like you're after type 98 as well?? If you're after type 98, I have one for sale that I'd sell to make room for an upcoming restoration. It's an arsenal stamped 98 with wooden combat saya that does show signs of field repair to a worn drag. The blade is in great condition and boasts a wavy temper line. The tsuba is also in great shape. The tsuba has impact damage from a .45 ACP projectile that has struck it. That's the reason I originally bought it, but as mentioned I have upcoming projects and some nice gendaito examples of type 98, so this draws the short straw. Apologies for the poor picture. My good camera wasn't available. If you're interested I can provide better ones. PM me.

mauser99 Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 type94's are far more scarce than type98's and I can only remember seeing one sell in recent memory. And went for far north of your budget. If you are buying your first sword buy safe and simple.. Then work up from there. IMHO.
