    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
  4. Swords
    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?
  5. Swords
    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
  6. Swords
    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 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
  14. Swords
    Thanks for the translation UWE Jean A pm from who?
  15. Swords
    If anyone can translate the kaji it would be appreciated Also about the hat The strap has stars rather than buttons which i thought was interesting 🤔 Steve
  16. Swords
    Thanks for all opinions I believe the hot stamp represents non traditional made even though it’s claim to be traditional To me the hamon looks to have dark lines which signify it being oil quench Don’t care for the mounts but at least it looks someone polished it at some point
  17. Swords
    I thought this interesting and wanted opinions for this sword According to the seller it’s been polished and hot stamp Supposedly traditional water quenching but to me it looks oil quench showing dark hamon Price is 1900 or less
  18. Swords
    Sorry I already sold it but you never know if the seller might return it because he was conflicted but I will let you know if he changes his mind Steve
  19. Swords
    Thanks for all feedback Probably too high for a short sword with a questionable signature Steve
  20. Swords
