Hello everyone , this is my second post , i would like some help evaluating the authenticity of this kai gunto katana blade.What do the Japanese writings mean on it?
It has an anchor symbol near the Japanese letters (does it mean something?).
I had noticed that the place where other swords have the rayskin (dont know its name , excuse me) , this sword has a black rough material.What could that be?
If its authentic what could be a value estimate?
Finally i am sorry for the bad quality of the pictures , they are old and i cant obtain new ones.
Hope you like it
Thank you!
