Thanks for the links it nice to be able to see how people really were instead of having to accept Hollywoods version of how the era was. It refreshed my memory of a photo I picked up on e-bay, I wanted to have a better look so downloaded it, tweaked and fiddled around in photoshop. I wonder if anyone here would do the same with their own swords? Bernie -
To me, being a total newbie the area around the ha machi and mune machi seem suspect, could be the photo, but to me it appears that the ha machi and mune machi are non existant and the angle of rust would seem to me as though the nakago has been added to the blade, could the areas mentioned actually appear like this on any existing nihonto that the gurus around here have seen?
