    it looks like its been welded. about 3 years ago i welded a longer nakago on to a hanwei practical katana to make it a nagmaki just for the fun of it, and it finished up looking simular, and to age it, I heated it till it was red hot and then quenched it a mud puddle to get a nice patina, and it worked some what. My thoughts are it may have been repaired after the war for a trophy for a US soldier. but its just a guess. Regards Hamish

    dont mean to but in, but i have purchised 2 items from john now and i have to say im happy with them both, one of which has been posted on this site. A tsuba with maple leave's flouting down a river. his items are much better in you hand then in the photos, not to sound like a salesman but the photos dont do thm justice, and his prices are pretty good. Regards Hamish
