    Brian, thank you for the input. I appreciate your words on the matter. It's an interesting item either way for sure.

    John C, maybe lol

    SRDRowson, thank you for the info and yup, that signature looks so crisp and clean. Great lines. Nothing like mine.

    David Flynn, you are making a lot of sense. I hope you are wrong though lol I believe it was an actual WW2 katana but not an actual Tadayoshi blade. I know a few countries got a hold of these things by the ton and everyone was trying to squeeze every penny out of them.

    David Flynn, i just read that they signed Wakizashi on the katana mei side, hey maybe its a wakizashi?? Its only 64cm long, not super short but def in the ballpark!

    Absolutely. I will do that, i respect the school enough to take a gamble on eBay so i def share your admiration! Hey by the way, im holding on to hope here, i saw a few pics of authentic blades with the signature on the right hand side of the tang so you never know!

    I didnt even think about which side, wow. I really appreciate the help, def not having high hopes anymore lol the seller does accept returns thankfully. I'll continue to research though, im still interested in an authentic Tadayoshi blade. Thank you!

    NewB, right i think i need to seek a professional once it arrives. I posted the measurements that the seller listed, i wish he had better pictures of the blade. I will have to wait until i actually recieve the sword lol

    Hi everyone, i just bought a sword on eBay that the seller says is signed by Hizen No Kuni Tadayoshi. It's a type 98 WW2 sword. The signature on the tang looks a little sloppy to me but im no expert and either is the seller. Can anyone lead me to the right conclusion?
