    +1，I pass a very nice Yasukuni sword at a good price before, because it's not in Gunto fitting. Paul, I read your article with great interest, as I can see myself described there in some ways. You of course have concentrated on the blades, but a sword is a combination of blade and koshirae. There are many of us who frequent this military forum who study the variety of WW2 swords, blade+koshirae as part of Japanese sword history, not necessarily as collectors of militaria.
