Swords

Yes it is

Up WW2 Japanese Officer Sword in mint condition in full polish customs mounted Im guessing a new Saya and Tsuka were fitted with probably because it had a fresh polish The saya It’s a little long however every thing fits tight as it should The polish alone easily cost over 2000 If you’re looking for a nice WW2 Original Officers era signed and hot stamped This one would be a bargain at 1700 + 75.00 shipping Not sure if it traditional or not but it’s a beautiful sword Pictures don’t do it justice

Never mind I got Chris Bowens email Thanks steve

Going back to the sword above I ran it by Woody to see if he would know He did mention the grain but couldn’t say if it’s traditional or not He said Chris Bowen may know? Anyone have his email? Noshu Seki ju Yoshimitsu Saku"

To me the hamon looked weird I also questioned this But it’s nice to get more opinions Not a sword I would want There’s a reason why it’s so cheap Thanks

i have been watching this sword on EBay The bid now is 330.00 It will probably go higher but maybe not that much For a ww2 Japanese sword mounted and nice blade is cheap unless there’s something wrong?

Probably a good reason no body wants it though it’s original price is 4500 or more I don’t agree with it being traditional 1941 or 2nd seat The signature don’t match John Slough Thanks for the info

I wanted some info from others about this sword I think it’s Showa not traditional but could be wrong I did a comparison from book of John Slough and to me it doesn’t match signature Also if the description is accurate Any opinions are welcome A 3800 price tag which seems high Steve

I Thought maybe a known smith

I meant to add another photo

I saw this sword and thought it interesting I’m guessing it’s older Ang help is appreciated Steve

Thanks

Looking for help with the translation Thanks Steve

Yes I know but seems impossible to sign up

I know this hat probably shouldn’t be in the Forum Who would know others that are knowledgeable about these hats It’s dated 1938 I was told sometimes officers put stars over their chinstrap buttons to dress it up
