    brilliant! thanks Lewis. i think i will stick with this sword and find a polisher. i owned an Emura 5 years ago, it was mint. sold it for 5000.00. got this one for 550.00 au. I Love His swords.

    oh no, such a shame. its would have been a really nice sword.. i payed 550.00 au for it. i guess i can make some money back if i sold the Saya. i will use it as a practice sword to polish it myself.. cant hurt now.. thank You so much for Your imput.

    Hi there, i just got this Emura blade. came with ww2 saya and no tsuka,tsuba,seppa etc. the blade has been damaged at the tip as someone has tried to use sand paper or something. my question is can it be repaired? several years ago i heard of People on this site who can do polishing at a lower price but still at a decent standard. or are there other options? any advice or imput would be greatly appreciated.

    hi there Cisco San, the sword is still in postage and yet to arrive. the hamon looks good in the photos even though it's hard to see, but the overall look of the blade is rough.. I want to get a custom shirasaya for the blade as there is no tsuka .i will post photos when it arrives

    Thanks for Your imput Doug🙂. I know prices have sky rocket to crazy amounts in the U.S even for gunto swords.what would be an average cost if this is original mei and whats a rough price for a fake mei? Thank You kindly

    Hi everyone! I got a barn fresh sword that is in WW2 mountings. It looks traditionally made with mei on tang. Any help on age and name would be appreciated. Unfortunately i forgot to take photos of the blade but it has a straight hamon. Some rust and staining.
