So I only know some one of those terms :-) tsuba is the guard correct? Would you please define the other terms for me?

Sorry I’m doing theses individually when I try to upload several at once it’s not allowing them to load.

This is the only spot where what’s left of the temper line is visible

I’d be happy to post pictures of the furniture later tonight. It all looks very similar to other examples I’ve found in the last 24 hours. I’m still unsure if it’s original to the blade or not, until yesterday I had assumed that it was a Frankenstein of different pieces cobbled together.

Bruce’s posts are what brought me here:-)

When I was 16 I went to a gun show, pulled all the money I had out of an ATM…. and bought a sword. That was more than 30 years ago and today (1/19/25) I found out I bought “Manchurian steel” :-) anything you can tell me about my sword would be appreciated. I’m not looking to sell it but I am curious if it’s worth more than the price of the enfield rifle that the guy at the gun show had just traded for the sword and hence the price I paid for it …. $300.
