    The Written photos were screen shots of sellers info on it, all he had. Managed 2 secure for a low price cause of mismatch,and will have it in hand within a week,then for sure posting better shots. The bloke even said'whats the hammon' 'dunno thats how i got it off a ww2 bloke long ago. I collect coins' he said, 'only was after his coins/medals, bought it all off him''its hung on the back wall ever since' he recons his miss's is making him get rid of the 'Collection' so called. Let you all see when i get. Thanks for replies. Mark L

    Pitting was there when dad got it, knew some wouldn't come out, more sort of want to bring it back to life? Do you think maybe true gendaito or not?! I know bit hard to tell from cond.+ little photos. With the interpretation of tag, Hideki , Dunno looks a little weird in that bit too???? but I'm an aussie what would i know.. Does anybody else think or can see something in the tag maybe? Jump in, just gives me something to search. It be good to name/trace original owner(sorry won't be getting back) so I can pass it on to my kids!! After they pry it from me, of course! Sort of just need to know if part polish is a worthwhile thing, passed the wife.. I'm keen, she's not so.. Should I leave it, like she would like? Or... Bring back a little, don't over enjoy the orig. Might change spending that much! Back to thread, anyone.. Mark L

    Thanks for the fast reply, should of checked the date closer, the name Hideki didn't even look at..thanks, heaps Posted closer photos of tachi. Sort of..don't know if can see much in photos. Ta for the verification,fix on mei & date. Started to translate mostly from your site in the first place. You're worth your weight in gold. Does she look worthy of a polish?.it's a little rough. Maybe a diamond in the rough, or a stick in the mud?? Mark L

    Hi, first of all 'kudoss' & congrats on the site. I'm a first timer..so pls be gentle. Sorry in advance for a thread. To the job at hand, I inherited from great grandfather a ww2 sword many a year ago. I remember the day as a kid, him showing & telling me all the stories. From that very first day as a kid, (think I claimed it!) I always kept my eye on it. Now 40ish, I blew the dust of it 3-4 mths ago & thought I'd give it another look. My dad's m8 had a go long ago & told us 'it's nothing, military made, standard thing pumped out in the day, not worth 1-2 hundred maybe, cr*p!..' and that's what my dad thought ever since, but not me i still though mine(only seen a cool sword). Here's what I've got so far, the mei (i hope!) is Noshu ju Kanenobu & was made in showa period march 1944. The blade is shinto style and tachi in length at a little over 27". The nakago is star & arsenal stamped + 'ho' stamped on mune. Slight gunome hamon, bit rough, but still sharp as 70 odd yrs on, since sharpened!. In shin-gunto type-3 military mount. It came with a tag, since learnt possible surrender tag(thought name tag).. That's where I'm part stuck.. So far I've got, Rikugun shoi, army sec.sub lieutenant, Okazaki eiiki? eiichi? aichi? Thats all I got. Anyone that would be able to translate it & check the mei+date & be able to tell a little more info. on sword 2 cross reference mine(so i can tell my dad it's not the cr*p sword like he thinks). Since I live in the land of kangaroos & koalas (Aust.) I would love to have the blade professionally sharpened & polished, but am very limited on options. Would anyone know of someone that can be trusted to do the job?!?(I know really only Japan) but you got to ask. Is the blade worth the polish? Or? is the polish worth more than the blade?! Pls post reply, any info. is all good. Sorry again for length of thread. Cheers, check out pics.
