tokashikibob Posted May 15, 2014 Report Posted May 15, 2014 Fellas, Looking at this sword tomorrow along with a couple Arisaka rifles. What do you think? Meiji era? There was a exact comp on the Sword forum that R. Stein said was probably Showa. Looks too old for that, but hey I am no expert. Did they make machine made blades back before 1900? Best regards, Bob Quote
Mark Posted May 15, 2014 Report Posted May 15, 2014 I see a lot of these, they usually have poorly made blades, mostly machine made. In my area they sell in the $150-200 range Quote
tokashikibob Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks for the info Mark, and by the way tremendous job on the Chicago show! I really enjoyed it and cannot wait for next years event. I did not get to spend as much time at the show as I wanted to but was one of the collectors doing tsuka wrapping for a fee?

Mark Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 David McDonald was wrapping handles, not sure is he is a NMB member but he has a web site Quote
