Thanks guys! Would probably of ended up with a rusty remover and emery cloth of it weren't for this forum! Appreciated

Thankyou, I guess I'll have to train myself on how to Polish, being a first blade i just wanted to do as much possible with it,the sharpness isn't necessity but would like a good overall finish. The overall cost of polishing seems to far out weigh the overall value of the blade which is unfortunate and I really don't want to ruin the finish with some Noob mistake on the Polish! Any tips for a first timer on how to carefully restore the overall sword?

Hi all, Have been advised this is a seki kanekado blade and am thinking of resorting, polishing and sharpening it bit need to balance out cost. Can anyone advise me roughly of the price of restoration and total value of the blade/sword. Would really love to see it fully restored and enjoy it.

Thanks again, out of interest how much would the sword be worth? I'm thinking of having it restored and polished/sharpened while trying to balance out the cost...

Thanks, so machine made? Sorry I'm only just learning!

Can anyone help me identify these markings? I believe it's from a type 98? that was confiscated in Burma during ww2. Would love to know a little more about it.
