  2. Sorry i should have checked the date.it was done by the same person who wrote fujiwara inplace of minamoto on my Kunishige work sheet. I can not see showa at all in this blade the tsure hi is worn from repolishes more than one i think it has a old sword cut on mune 3 peg holes .It seems wrong to question the shinca teem but Chris has come up with very good points. Not Toshihide not showa I think but i am not the experts. thanks Bernard
  3. One who looked at this sword said is it a shinshinto sword made to look koto ? ie a shinshinto copy of a koto sword????? Papers are to stop the ? are thay not! Merry Xmas Xmas eve to night in Kiwiland :D
  4. Hi Chris i was thinking of repolish and back to shinca. A trained polisher looked at the sword before shinca and said it was a very good blade and dont be suprised if shinca team gave it shinshinto date. Bernard
  5. Hope these are better Bernard
