It's a nice Tanto Michael.

Thanks a lot Brian for your informations.

Thank you Brian. I thought without stamp it could be gendaito? I didn't find out which Sadamitsu has made this. There are a lot of smiths called sadamitsu. What is the fair price for a showa-to late '44 gunto?
-
I'm interested in a late 44 gunto. Can you help me translate this from picture? There is no mark and no stamp on the nakago. It's offered for around 1.000 Dollar.

It is unbelievably beautiful

Hello, i need 2 x screw for a late '44 tsuka. I didn't know the exact measurement but i think the measures in the picture will fit. Thanks Chris

I didn't know if it helps. I have a Kane Nori. The Mon was removed i think. The same is - i didn't know. Maybe canvas, shark, celluloid?

In untrained hands the best sword will be ruined. Japanese swords are totaly different from european swords. Many of the Japanese Soldiers didn't know how to handle thier swords in combat, like ancient samurai. In the hand of a well trained swordsman, the cheapest type 95 gunto was a deadly weapon every day in the war. So i didn't can follow the article. Thanks for the link.

Thank you all for your advice and help. I made a experience and stop that deal with help from ebay germany. Happy new year. Chris
-
Thank you for helping and clearing the view. To buying not over ebay or other auctions is difficult because there are so less gunto available. Brain thank you for the link to the other swords.But i like gunto swords because they are interesting for me. Maybe we have a different look on the same thing. Only the sword in Shirasaya is not very attractive for me to have a look on. For a real nihonto collector this is maybe not important.
-
yes is from them. Do you think is a crime?
-
I bought it now, $ 4.140,00 Maybe to much, but my first star stamped gunto. Thank you all for helping me. Happy new year. Cheers Chris.
-
Yes condition looks very good for me. The fitting is not so high valueable. Only small same eyes. Tsuba with 4 Seppa washer. But with a massive sarute and a little damaged blue brown tassel. The first price was 6k. I didnt think that he give me that sword for $2000.
-
Thank you a lot for helping. Is the number on the nakago a registration number? Can i ask what you think is a fair price for both sides? I plan to buy it.
-
I hope someone can help me. I read Sadaroku. On the nakago is a star stamp and a number. The nakago looks very clean. I din't find out if Sadaroku was a swordsmith of yasukuni shrine, so is this blade traditionell made? What does the signature mean. Pictures are a little big. The blade looks lovely for me. The koshirae is not very eye catching.

English is not my native language. But i think i understand. Thanks for help.

I collect Gunto. It doesn't really fit to my collection. I will advice him to put it on ebay. Otherwise i think he will put it to scrap metal because selling on ebay is not his business.

A fried of mine asked me if i'm interested in a wakizashi. His friend sells things from a in german words "Wohnungsauflösung" maybe "housing resolution"? I have no idea about what it is. I have only some fotos he send me on the smartphone. Wich "period" Kanemoto - i didn't know. He said he wants 400 EUR for this wakizashi when its old. If not he would put it to the scrap container old metal. First i think it is written Kanemaru from mino. I tought maybe its a good one for restauration. If its showa i tell him that is not worth for restauration. So what to say?
-
Kanemoto showa period. Seems you are right. Thank you for help.

Machine made is something on a wide range. It is true, all NCO swords were machine made. But there are so many things between machine made and machine made. Most of the NCO swords looks after 70 years like fresh made. When it was a poorley "press out" sword and looks shiny new after this long time, can we said thats poor quality? I think no. Its a very good weapon. On other hands, the best made traditional sword takes a lot of care to work fine after 70 years.
-
hmm, i load a little better screenshot.
-
Hello Mark, maybe you are right. I didn't know. But i think later in war all was going to end. Material, money, personal, time. And they need more and more swords.
-
Some one want to sell a "old" Wakizashi. He didn't know anything about it. I read Kanemaru 兼丸 but I'm not sure. The only Kanemaru that i found is from mino period. What you think. Is it a real one? I put the photos from all parts together in jpg file. Not very professionell.
