Wwii Japanese Sword With A Tachi Blade From Kamakura Period?
BANGBANGSAN replied to cplnorton's topic in Nihonto
Tsuka marking is 柄平卷 The company logo it's very similar to 山本軍刀店,but a little different. It look like 幸 rather than 山本, maybe another logo for 神户軍刀店?Since the owner‘s name 神户一幸。We know 合名會社 神戶商店 make Type 95 NCO sword using K or 一 inside the Cherry blossom mark, perhaps not many people know it also called 神戶軍刀店(hence they both use the same phone number)? -
The photo is too small,I can only make a guess-陸軍造?

As a 造兵刀&NCO sword lover, I've been observing the price for many years(also bought many), like John said that 造兵刀 sold for$2000 was all because it's the minty condition, so does the recent two mint condition Type 95 sold for over 2K, keep that in mind, the regular condition ones will NOT be sell for that kind of price.

東都住人石堂是一十代孫藤原輝秀精鍛造之 「石堂是一は長運斎綱俊の甥で、初め綱俊について鍛刀の技を学び、後に石堂家の七代目を継いで是一と称しました。作風は大別して備前伝と相州伝の二様がありますが、やはり彼の本領は石堂派の御家芸ともいえる備前伝であり、傑作も多く残されています。

BANGBANGSAN replied to Kolekt-To's topic in Military Swords of Japan
The brass tsuba type 95 in average condition would sell for 700-900 no problem ,better condition of the blade and paint should go over 1K and more.Keep that in mind,same condition Iron tsuba is cheaper tha brass tsuba. -
Type 95 NCO sword - sold for how much???
BANGBANGSAN replied to Kolekt-To's topic in Military Swords of Japan
I saw many Type 95 show up on eBay and another auction site recently, most of them the listing price on the high side, the market will tell what are they really worth. I think it's not going to be a big jump on price for the regular /so so condition ones because that minty 95 sold for the high dollars. -
大正?

@Bruce Groyn‘s Mantetsu is 昭和(16)辛巳 1941 instead of 昭和(15)庚辰 1940 。
