    Hi, I’ve ran across this blade and the owner said he believed a previous amateur owner buffed it; based upon these pics, do you think restoration is still possible?

    Why not display it (?); pride of place!

    Thanks for responding! Much appreciated; I ran across it because it was mentioned ( in an interview with a V&A curator) in a old documentary on Masamune; and I didn’t know such a sword was in the V&A collection.

    Anyone had a chance to examine this blade in person? Thoughts on it? https://collections....d-scabbard-masamune/

    Were you able to take any good photos of the swords? 👁️ 🍭 that you might share with us???

    I was thinking the same thing; printed catalogue?

    Take heed in Grey's warning; once your dead they'll just deaccession your donation for something they consider 'more important' to their collecting habits (and/or taste); happened to a friend of my mine years ago.

    Anyone have the details on this masamune blade displayed in this austria museum exhibition 10 years ago?

    I emailed him with no response; I wonder if he is even still around!

    I do know a slightly similar design crossguard was used in WWII by the Japanese for the civilian/police.

    Thanks Bruce; from my limited research there isn't much information circulating on Chinese swords of this period ( at least on the internet). I wonder if this might have to do with Mao's mass extermination campaign of weapons for his steel mill plan.
