    bad shape

    I was charmed by the carving on this tsuba, BUT can it be restored?
  9. with two address, I thought that seemed likely.... but then... maybe not
  10. it could be that this sword was surenderd in korea, wow a littel bit of history , thanks for the help
  11. I got this linen tag with a sword, I was hopeing someone would be able to tell me what it is, thanks
  12. NICE menuki :D
  13. yea they look like someone "CLEANED" them
  14. I got this tsuba cheep, but I think is interesting, what do you think........
  15. notice the difference in apper. in these two war time swords
  16. a lot of the better showa-to acquired false signatures, also the stamps were removed from maney better showa-to, and now have a verry diferent history than they should, I think the shape of a sword can tell part of the story, the truly massproduced swords seem to all have a standerd shape so the fitting could be made to the same standard, or.......... not
  17. the showa stamp shows non tradational, that just means "modern" steel not tamahagane was used in the mfg., the stamps were put into efect because some of the swords made with modern steel could not be told from "tradational" swords made from tamahagane.................................. this is from the book modern Japanese swords and swordsmiths
  18. sorry, 2- blades, first 2 picks are a lesser qual. blade, the second 2 picks is what I hope is a better blade- it is signed kaneyoshi the hada is verry fine and the blade is koshi-zori,
  19. how can you tell oil tempered swords that are in old or war time polish? I have a verry good sword(kanesada) no problem telling with this sword but the war swords are a nother matter
  20. thank you,.............. now I will try to find out wich kaneyoshi
  21. thats what we thought, but someone sugested the first kanji was YOSHI , this is a ww2 sword, thanks Gene
