Thanks Bruce hence no ham on what percentage of European/ Japanese steel is used in the production of the blade ? Thanks Gareth
-
Stephen the blade fits the saya like a glove and everything is so tight?
-
Stephen a friend of mine had a good look at it and he said like Bruce a early Sword with a Murata-to type blade ? Gareth
-
There is no evidence of any number stamped or ever being on the blade ?

Pics 2 Forgot to mention the handle is a totally different to my other sword by the curvature of the handle?

I have this sword and it is totally different to any sword I own . There is no marks on the tang only two stampings and painted in red the number 23 which matches the fittings. I have found something similar on line which mentions Murata-to? which talks about a mixture of European steel with a percentage of Japanese steel . The tsuba is very thick with cut outs and looks like it is made of Bronze .. Any help would be gladly appreciated.. Many thanks Gareth
