pcfarrar Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 Again both real, all you can really say from the images is they've had acid hybrid polishes. We could do with some images of the nakago? Quote
nickb Posted August 7, 2007 Author Report Posted August 7, 2007 this is the top sword in the first pic, not sure if you can see it but it has the showa stamp on the tang and this is from the second sword which is the smallest with engravings on both sides. Quote
stekemest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Posted August 7, 2007 Those other two swords are definitely real. The above one is a kai-gunto (marine sword), the other a shin-gunto. The blades look better than the first one and seem to be real gendaito. I'm still very unsure about the first blade, though. Even if it's no fake as a whole, I guess the hamon is acid etched or faked in some other way. Just my two Yen, Peter Quote
