Here is a Wakizashi that I own with some type of green cloth cover. When I first received it the tsuka was riveted on with what looked like an aluminum rivet. It was drilled out to expose the signature ( which I could use a translation for ) It appears to be a Shirasaya underneath but it looks like the tsuka part was altered to make it smaller and more rounded. The material almost exactly matches the material on my Japanese tanker helmet. What are your thoughts?

Roger thank you for showing this beautiful package. My knowledge is still small but my eye knows what I like and I like this. We all have items that we paid too much for and items that we paid less than they are worth. To me is only the fact that you love what you see and it is yours. Money only comes into play when buying or selling and then the cost is what someone wants to pay and how much they love what they see. I would love to own this piece, be proud to display it and enjoy looking at it.

I don’t know how the mail is Internationally but here in my part of the USA it stinks. I had three packages sent to me in New Jersey from Washington state, the two small ones arrived as expected as per the tracking numbers. The third, a Sword send home box, was over a month late. The USPS was of no help. The sender and I both filed lost forms, again with no help. The tracking said “ in transit” so that is all we were told. No one ever knew where it was. When I did receive it it was fine and in perfect shape. I am waiting for a small package as we speak that according to the tracking was within 10 miles of me and now it is it is 50 miles from me. Maybe it will find its way back and maybe not. Good luck and I hope everyone’s packages reach them as expected. It is stressful enough when everything works as expected, but really stressful when things happen..

Thank you SteveM. Would it make any sense for this tag to be on a captured sword?

Brian, I have never sold anything on the board, since my budget is limited most of what I buy keep for my meager collection. I found this board in the beginning of my interest in Nihonto and check in at least 2x a day. I learn something here every day and have purchased, at least in my mind, some treasures, that I am very proud of. I have met some great people here that have treated me like a old friend even though we never met. All the people that I have dealt with here have been top notch. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN. All this said I would like to send you a donation, some Thank You cash to help out. What is the Gold membership all about? Maybe this is a good place to start. Please let me know how to go about a donation. Have a Happy Holiday and stay safe
