The habaki didn't fit to the blade. Its not original.

Tachi signed mei - should read masamitsu looks shinto to me.

Who has a geiger counter?
-
This has all nothing to do with the initial thema. I see Godzilla coming.

Has anyone other than Kantaro taken measurements? I don't think this has anything to do with atomic bombs or power plant accidents. Moreover, the Tsuba do not date from the 2011 timeframe.

nice one John.

Thanks Kantaro I measure between 0.20µSv and 0.26µSv on that tsuba In the room, I have 0.11µSv – 0.15µSv normal.

I have two, because one of them is already nearly 20 years old, and I don't know how long the Geiger tubes last. Now I have a new one as well. However, the readings from the old one are still accurate.

Just for fun, I took some measurements of my collection using two different Geiger counters. I noticed that the old *tsuba* actually registered slightly elevated radiation levels. One Tsuba from the Muromachi period, featuring gold inlay, really started clicking away. Everything is still well within the safe range — but where does it come from?

Some smith before showa experimented with oil hardning. But your sword looks like a wartime showa-to.

Interesting blade. Maybe late nambokucho period. But die pictures should be better. I wonder why all that interest is in the fittings. Its a nice old blade.

It's an older nihonto blade in gunto (wartime mountings) koshirae.

刀 = sword

Looks like a nice Type94 Koshirae. For the blade you must show it full naked to see more. Its an old blade yes. But we need to see more.

It is not a Gendaito.
