    Thank you very much Stephen and Mal. I really appreciate your fast responses. I’ll get some pictures of the blade posted in a few days when I get a chance. Tom

    The date I believe is May 1945, but I’m hoping for a full translation of the other side. I recognize the last name is Masa but that’s all I could figure out. Thanks in advance, Tom

    Hi Kiipu, the machi is actually level, it’s just distorted in the picture. I have attached another picture to show this. It’s definitely an unusual habaki. Yes Mike, I’ll bring it next time we meet up. Tom

    One more.

    Here’s a recent pickup that I couldn’t resist. It’s in desperate need of a polish, but you can still appreciate the beauty of this sword. It looks like clouds billowing down the shinogi. I’ll attach more pictures in a follow up. Please let me know what you all think. Thank you, Tom

    The gentleman you need to contact is Don Schlickman. email dfsjpn@aol.com. He's a great guy and a pleasure to do business with. He should have in stock what you need. He makes reproduction parts for many Japanese items. Tom

    Sorry Elissa, it's a really bad reproduction. I hope you didn't pay too much. Tom

    John, great site! I just checked it but it appears to be generals only. Is the another site for naval officers? Thanks for your help, Tom
  14. drb 1643
    Thanks Timothy, but unfortunately I wasn’t the only one bidding it up! Tom

    Thank you very much Mr. Hoffert for your help. I will look into the Richard Fuller book for information. Sincerely Tom

    Here’s one I recently bought. Tom
  18. drb 1643
    Yes, I did by it but I haven’t received it yet. Masatada I know is a Minatogawa smith but I don’t have any idea who the other gentleman is. If you find any information on him please let me know. Thank you very much, Tom

    Hi All, this was an eBay auction (sorry for the bad pictures), and I was hoping to get clarification of the mei. Thank you very much, Tom
  21. drb 1643
    Thank you Steve for your thoughts. Yes, I'm going to take it to someone with a lot more knowledge than I hopefully next weekend. I'll let you know his thoughts. Tom
  22. drb 1643
    Some more.

    Sorry, it took me a while to get the pictures. Here’s an overall view and some closeups. Nagasa is 29.25 inches and sori is .5 inch. Thank you all very much. Tom
  24. drb 1643
    Does anyone have any thoughts-gimei? Thanks for any opinions. Tom
  25. drb 1643
    Sorry, I can only load limited pictures because of the size. Here’s the rest of the mei. Tom
