Nice military gendaito at e-bay

What do you think about this one?? The description seems a bit curious. The guy who wrote it tried to write it so that it looks he is not profession but parts of it are with the specific terms. So is it a go or a no go??

Can't tell from the pics there. But I can tell you that seller does know Japanese swords a bit. You can tell from the info he provides, the way he has displayed the sword in the pics and the facts he has provided.

Not someone who has just seen his first Japanese sword

This isn't some guy who is disposing of something he has no idea about.

Good luck, looks ok..but get more info and pics as always.

Don't fancy the koshirae. The blade looks nice thought....

i thought the Kissaki may have been reshaped, maybe it was buffed? could be the photo.

[AndreasU]

Thought the same! looks like tip was broken and then shortened.

I did US$1200 on it but still reserve on it. So I let it go if it is more. Not worth it!

I also think the kissaki has been messed with. What's more, in every picture the edge looks like it has a secondary bevel. I wonder if some amateur polisher has been practicing on this. I'd definitely stay away from this one.
