    I am sure at the Japanese would not consider being so rude.mr.hamfish.

    Like I said before I only would like to know which suke made this . Nothing more but since you would like to make a issue of how about considering the fact that all of us are not collectors of nihonto but collectors of history and as such it would become you if you would accept the fact that every smith is important every life is important . An accolade would be nice but consider the source.

    Oh by the way mr.hamfish this is the Military section.

    Has anyone seen anything similar to this?

    I am sure that the smith that made the blade would disagree,all of us wish to be remembered for our sacrifices and hard work.otherwise why sign it? It is a phiece of history and as such deserves respect.It serves as a memorial to those who lost their lives in Toyokawa and is worthy of preservation .dont let your arrogance blind you.

    In all due respect the fuchi is indeed naval as well as tsuba.the saya in black is also thpical of naval sword and as noted in the Ohmura studies. As to this being a post war put together no as the persons I bought it from are good and honest.

    Could this have been an unknown smith working at the toyokawa armery as it has the anchor stamp in a circle?
