No_6 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Hi all, just looking for some advice on a sword I bought more than 10 years ago. A friend of mine at the time helped me pick this one out on ebay, so I really don't know very much about it. I was thinking of having it polished/restored but I don't know if the blade is worth it. I also have no idea of where I could send it to get the work done. Any advice, recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pictures: Quote
hxv Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 Hi No_6, Please sign your post so we can address you properly - it's also a rule here. The nakago on your blade doesn't look particularly old. I would guess shinshinto. Unsigned shinshinto+poor quality blade = not worth the $$ required for restoration, IMHO. Regards, Hoanh Quote
cabowen Posted October 1, 2012 Report Posted October 1, 2012 It rather crudely made or tired from polishing so it would be best to put the funds toward something more worthy... Quote
