Hey Chris i agree mate. Whole thing seems fake and the tip is not good either. Bin job to me …. Lol thanks mate

Thank you so much everyone for your feedback on this sword and thank you Bruce for sending most the parts I needed. I now have another question. I have a massive feeling in my gut that this sword that came into my possession is a fake. I cannot see a sword makers make but it has writing down the side. I have taken a couple of photos. Any ideas in this group? You guys are bloody awesome so I trust ya’s thankyou Dave

Cheers Bryce 👍

Hi John Not a silly question at all mate. I had no idea that they were here. I remember a beautiful Japanese store that used to be on Lake st that sold a lot of incredible stuff but they disappeared. This is probably where they went. thank you very much. I will contact them Monday thanks John 👍

Arrrhhhh yes.... that’s exactly what I’m missing. Thanks Bryce 👍 Great to hear another North Queenslander on here and no, that’s not me though I have met him a few times. I work with a returned veteran group called Kapani. We go into remote aboriginal communities and recruit for army and mining jobs. Gives an outcome to our veterans and an outcome to the young lads sitting around in communities so a win win 👍 you can check us out on Facebook. Kapani Warrior 👍 thanks Bryce

Thank you Chris and Bruce. You guys are bloody on it and great help. I truly appreciate it. Bruce, I will pm you mate as I think the brass 1 x seppa and, what Chris was saying, 1 x boar seppa (that’s the o-seppa I believe) should do it. I have about a 3 to 4 mm space there, so is quite loose. Happy to pay you what you need to send them to me. Thank you again guys. 👍

Just one more question guys as you all seem to know a hell of a lot about these swords. I’d like to know what I need to complete it as I can see there must be a couple of items missing. I would think it needs another seppa (I think you call it) and something seems to go on the end of the scabbard. Is this correct? What do I need and what are they called? thank you Dave

So being a non-traditionally made blade (seki-stamp) it’s still an amazing history .... so I’m happy...... but who is Yoshitsugu and what does that mean it’s signed by him if it’s non-traditionally made? I’m a little confused. thank you

Thanks guys... great help so far 👍 I’m only just learning all this so any help about this sword is fantastic. I was wondering whether it was worth spending the money on getting it to its true form. There are a couple of parts missing for the handle and the scabbard needs some restoration.... 🤔

Just reposted right way up 👍👍

Sorry guys, bit new at this. As mentioned Posted upside down ...oops... ha ha. do you need me to repost?

Hi Guys can anyone translate what is on this sword. I believe it is WW2 with a seki stamp and was machine made. Other than this I have no clue. Please help thank you
