Mine not yours

Turns out it's Emura

So this hasn't sold? Selling one not as nice on consignment been awhile I don't know what Nagamitsu are going for nowadays.

And another jump to conclusions, before using the calling fake card one needs the rest of the story

Yurie I can almost smell the tempura and see the lights as if I was there, thank you.

I should have mentioned @nulldevice Chandler as well good for you sir.

I had hoped to see pictures of you and your daughter Yurie san. 😉 Thank you for sharing.

Fun thread and happy the hobby is alive and well. Great sword Yurie san. Also happy to see new members who are well versed in the Nihonto world. I was concerned the NMB was on its last leg, with new guys like Adam ( I am impressed with you knowledge, you must have been interested well before here) and other too. New blood is very important to keep the forum alive. It's given me want to drop in more often. Especially since Brian has brought back the old ways, going to go check Bobby's shindig Pics now. There will be donation to the board before years end. Maybe sooner.

Donation sent. Keep the support of NMB alive!

I can't express my gratitude about how Franco's has helped me. The fact that he loves it and is going to cherish it is my best dream. A very trusted buyer you should have no worries. Once again thank you my friend.

Sold

You should post in military forum they can tell you all about the stamps https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/forum/45-military-swords-of-Japan/ See Boss just posted, yes they NCOs are not signed, it does no good to take handle off and they seldom go back together as tight.

For a plain over cleaned copper habaki it looks fine, patina with liver of sulfur for black. One step more would be gold leaf...for top half...never paint.. .too tacky. The blade is very tired ol work horse. Not much can be saved. No Machi means no polish left.

Sonething kuni Kaneuji translation section will fill in blanks Usually it states the school or teacher

I'm sure @mecox will tell you all you need to know. Looks like Showa ju hachi

The nakago has been shaved for new fittings. Please post pics of the machi above the photo I rotated
