    Additional examples from this shop, very unusual style of fittings:

    If you search "island swords" you will find others in this style. If the story can be verified, then it would explain the lack of any normal tsuka ito or samegawa. Unfortunately they aren't really valued as highly as authentic Japanese examples, and fall firmly into the militaria realm of items (think bayonets, machetes, etc. etc.).

    Sugata is typical Showa.

    Minamoto Yoshichika, Kicho Ninteisho 1975.
  5. PNSSHOGUN
    Yasutoku, Tokubetsu Kicho from 1970.

    The tassel indicates it was owned by a senior officer from Major to Colonel, was this a bringback piece from your family?
  7. PNSSHOGUN
    These are rather uncommon, it's possible the Japanese officer originally served in China. As an aside, the order of the seppa is incorrect, there should be three of equal size on each side of the Tsuba.
  8. PNSSHOGUN
    Same goes with Australia, there are no limitations currently known.
  9. PNSSHOGUN
    Great result, look forward to seeing the Koshirae you had commissioned for it.

    These values are from the Toko Taikan, where listed Gendai smiths all start at one million yen. Kanemichi made good Gendai during the 30's, after that he appeared to have focused more on making Showato for the war effort and quality Gendaito are far less common.

    Navy officers reportedly complained about Kai Gunto tassels being too short when introduced, but this takes the cake.

    Came across additional photos of the Iwo Jima Sadakatsu mentioned above in this old thread:

    New host may be the only option, current one really seems to be struggling.

    This is an external mail client, no filters set and nothing in junk. Will contact their support and see if they can whitelist it.

    For the past couple of weeks there hasn't been any email notifications for messages, is this effecting anyone else? Notifications are turned on.
