robobot Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 I can make an offer on this sword, being new to real swords (I have an NCO machine made sword....only one) Anyway I just received a couple of photos It looks like the sword has been sandpapered and the nakago has been buffed to a nice shine!!!!! does it look like a real sword or Chinese fake? looks like bizen is the top part any ideas on the rest apparently shinto there is no yokote either is that right?

Mark Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 it is upside down. I can hold my laptop upside down but it gets tiring. It says Bizen Osafune Ju Sukesada. no yokote because someone sanded it (and other lines etc) off. It is real Japanese but not worth much. Quote
Jamie Posted August 12, 2013 Report Posted August 12, 2013 I know it's much cheaper to buy a beat up sword with intention to restore, but it's best to buy a sword in polish as you can study it immediately. You lose a lot on this one. Hope this helps Quote
robobot Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Posted August 12, 2013 WOW thanks for the quick replies! sorry it's upside down! and thanks for the info. good to see it is genuine but he is entertaining offers around $450 (£300) I think its too much as it is in very poor condition. just a side note any ideas what period?
