    @Bruce Pennington Bruce, I believe the number is 1 8. It was hard to make out on the Mei but under funchi I also noticed a 1 8. I included that pic as well. Hope it helps! And thanks everyone again for the help.

    I gotcha! So just to make sure, the blade is real and the bottom of the tuska is like a Dog tag with the soldiers name? "Tatsuo Obayashi. Is that part of the sword real too or is it a fake? How common are these? any idea of value?

    was told it is was signed Dewa Daijo Fujiwara Kunimichi. Gimei or real?
  11. Kyle68
    how old is the blade?
  12. Kyle68
    What do you guys think? Authentic or fake?
  13. Kyle68
    does that affect the value of the sword?
  14. Kyle68
    any ideas on why they would intentionally remove the date?

    Thank you Mr Singer! Do you happen to know anything about this swordsmith? Is he well known? When he was born/died etc? I tried to look him up but couldn't find anything definitive..

    That’s beautiful! How common is is it to find a katana with the the Fuji/moon on the hamon?
  18. Kyle68
    So you’re saying the Hamon is Mt Fuji with a moon? Did the sword smith do this intentionally? I thought it was just by chance. I noticed the the swordsmith has a medium straight hamon and then transitioned to a billowing. Is that something the swordsmith does intentionally

    So maybe 300-400 is a fair selling price? I just have no idea what to ask for or. Not wanting to rip anyone off. Just wanting to be fair

    Yeah that was not from me. I just wondered about the damage. Trying to figure out more of the story of this sword
  21. Kyle68
    Here is an enlarged pic of it. What do you guys think?
  22. Kyle68
    I was wondering about the damage to the blade. Could it have been damaged before the war, and still taken to battle? Is it consistent with hitting another sword or a bullet? Any thoughts on that? I always thought it was from a bullet…
  23. Kyle68
    Ah. So it wouldn’t appeal to a serious collector? Even with its age? Thank you for your time and your knowledge!
  24. Kyle68
    Thank you! I have someone interested in buying it. What is a fair price or what is the price to a collector? What would you ask for it or pay for it? What should I ask?

    Hello all! I was told that this katana was made by Kawachi No Kami Kunisuke in 1675. It was brought back during WW2 and it is unknown if the damage occurred before or during WW2. Thinking of restoring it. But what does the damage do to the value? What is the value in its current condition? What about the collectibility?
