    Hello Jose, from those photos your sword very much resembles a standard oil tempered sword. The condition looks to be OK, so best to enjoy it as is.
  2. PNSSHOGUN
    If you are able to take photos of the exhibit once it opens we would all be very appreciative. Have these swords been loaned by private collectors, or are part of the museum collection?

    Best to re-consult the reference books if you see any resemblance to a Heian era sword here.

    https://www.sho-shin.com/sag5.html Late Kamakura to Nanbokucho period.

    Both are fine polishes, it's always difficult to say whether one is better than the other from photos. The second polish is perhaps better for a museum situation, whereas the original polish style can be enjoyed more in hand.

    @Hoshi Yes the filter is great for options you want to see, being able to as easily exclude a dealer would be handy as well.
  8. PNSSHOGUN
    There were more than seven smiths, I suspect the seven usually cited in reference books are the smiths producing superior works and continuing forging traditions proper.
  9. PNSSHOGUN
    A small quality of life improvement for filters: currently all options need to ticked to then exclude any items/dealers you don't want to see. A simple show/don't show box would be welcome.

    The only vaguely standardised Kyu Gunto would be the arsenal blades, though even those had variations between makers and could be customised for length.
  12. PNSSHOGUN
    Really nice examples there, thank you for sharing.
  13. PNSSHOGUN
    The seller appears to have a vast amount of spare fittings and bare blades listed, wouldn't hold high hopes of anything being correct.
  14. PNSSHOGUN
    Are the mounts Navy, Army, or traditional?
  15. PNSSHOGUN
    Agree with Ian, this is clearly a WWII period made blade. The significant rust (likely from being submerged in water) gives a much older appearance.
