Many thanks Bruce,and others 🙂

Mounts are a wrapped handle but no rayskin, looks painted black. Looks like naval hand guard missing two larger seppa (sp?) Anyway, thanks,again folks

Probably did misunderstand. Remember thinking it wasnt made during the war....(so to speak). Cool. Thanks for the help...good folk you are.

This side nothing

It was there in the sword index. Thanks, now, the year

Hi Thanks for helping. My sword man on Shikoku was most sure...🙂 but who knows. 1931, I think. I lost his paper I took notes on, torn up everything looking but no go. Hope these pics help. There are no numbers or stamps anywhere else.

Hi folks Can I get some assistance on this ww2 sword mei? I think it was kanekado of gifu made this. 1931. Cherry blossom stamp. Many thanks folks

Rokujuro Seems you were correct, it seems to be an Ohira Uchigumori whetstone of the hard variety. I zoomed the pics online and found the same micro white spots as mine. Stone color the same . 3.5lbs weight Thanks for the help folks, I would have been lost without you.

Wow I knew you folks were good but now appear to be the BEST! GREAT info, thank you for your time. Now, I can sleep at night 😊 Many thanks Marc in NC

Hello all I bought this whet stone in Japan about 15 yrs ago. I forgot the area or prefecture or mine where it came from. I looked online but no can find The stone is dark, thick, with edges sawcut which I understand may have been cut in 1932. Seems like a hard stone very smooth THANKS for any help
