thats why he told me it looks like a gendaito without a mei but a afterwork with this bad letters

yes ray i know, thats why markus told me maybe it is scratched by an son of a dead soldiere from yugure or some other person which was in contact with that ship

One more

wakizashi is muji hada and suguha hamon. but very poor polish

the blade is very hard like glas. the hamon is very hard. the masame ko mokume is very muji and tight. i cant understand what this is.

mei on tsuba is only a name. MaroIchi

and after just looking to pictures he said maybe it is gendaito. but some other people told me the same. even after seeing this. there is no mei in it just a date 1957 and the name of the ship

he said it isnt a mei. he said it is maybe scratched after inside.because it looks very bad. but he makes the translation for me about facebook in privat chat.

i realy will be pleased if someone can tell me why it isnt authentic and how i can tell it to the seller. because if it isnt he had betrayed me about a lot of money. and if i dont know if this sword is real i am scared send it for shinsa.

Hi Ray thanks for the reply! I bought it on a privat auction but not on ebay. Mr Sesko told me it looks like gendaito but i bought it as shinto. its realy sad...right now because i payed a lot money. wakizashi also shortened very bad and not traditional

Now the Nakago and the 2 Tsuba Nakago Color depends on angle and light.

Hey guys! My name is Manoo, i am very happy to join this nice community and will be very pleased if some of you or somebodys knowledge can help me sort this sword id bought in a privat auction from a seller living in the USA. I bought it as a Daisho with realy Junk Koshirae but also very nice 2 Tsuba. the longsword isnt in good condition. in a german community nobody can help me anymore. one told me it looks shishinto and a other public knowed guy told me it looks like a gendaito. he also translated the scratches/letters which are made later to the nakago. I bought this sword as Shinto Nihonto and the Wakizashi as a Koto. Mrs Kashima told me after looking photos, this sword looks like a sword made in sandwich construction but she didnt know what kind of. Lamination lines are marked in photos. this lines are also visible in Mune on both sides ura and omote until to kissaki. All we know is: Nagasa 70cm Sori 1.6cm motohaba 2.4cm sakihaba 3.2cm motokasane 0.7cm/7mm sakikasane 0.4cm/4mm Chu kissaki 4.2cm Masame hada- Ko mokume Hada at shinogi and masame again in JI. Gunome/looks like Sanbonsuki but round yakigashira, Hamon based on Nioi Boshi is Ko or O maru in suguha style- i cant explain because there is some kaen in the hamon. Hamon with activitys: Ashi, Kinsuji, Inazuma and some very big Nie, abu no me! Iori Mune nakago have a good patina in slightly black grey i dont know how to say. Yasurime is Taka no ha sword feeling heavy Meaning of Nakago letters: hinoto-toridoshi (丁酉年) 1957 Yūgure-sen (夕暮舩) Ship Yūgure
