    Does it have any papers?

    Not true, of course oil tempered swords can be polished. What you claim about Glassy and Scratches, only depends on who polished it. I have seen several polished Showa To. However, it's not a viable option if one wants to recoup ones money. I believe this sword is a perfect example.

    The blade looks Chinese. If it was a real Nihonto, it wouldn't have sold for that price.

    Remove the Tsuka, Show the Nakago, and we'll see. The menuki are probably repro.

    Looks modern Chinese, to me.

    Papers should be, NTHK Kanteisho, or above and NBTHK Hozon, or above.

    Kaneuji, Shodai. Again as Ray said, very subjective.

    Nijimei, Yoshiharu, That I have seen are Gendaito. Even with the W stamp. There are several Yoshiharu, so it's hard to generalise.

    Would you please show a photo of the Nakago?

    I think it has just been cleaned, not chromed. If it was chromed, you probably wouldn't see the Sig and definitely not the file marks. Cleaning Tangs is a NO, NO, but not the end of the world.

    Does it have papers? Polished blade without, usually infers Gimei.

    As for the costs, Just for the Shinsa Team, it would be approx. $150,000 plus venue.

    Hi Clive, usually only John Grasso (Nihonto Australia) attends.

    This is moot topic. Unless someone is willing to put up the money, it will never happen. Also, there isn't enough dealers to have a show.

    It appears as though it may have a Ha Giri.
  19. David Flynn
    No worries, Jennet.

    Bryce, I think you're trying to compare, apples with oranges. When one has seen many, many showato, spotting an oil tempered blade becomes easy.

    Wow, your trying to sell this, and you want a Thankyou?

    I have 2 swords returning from Japan. Unfortunately, Australian Border Force (Customs), are continuously throwing up road blocks.
  23. David Flynn
    Try laying the sword down and take the photo at about 30 degree angle. Unfortunately, these photo's still don't show the Boshi clearly.
  24. David Flynn
    It could be the angle, but it looks like the Boshi runs off.
  25. David Flynn
    Also, would you please show a better photos of the Kissaki and the Boshi?
