Prewar70 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Posted January 22, 2016 Is this signature correct for the Manchuria Railway Company? Thanks for the assistance. Quote
reeder Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 The sword is correct. This has been listed on GB for some time with no action. I can't comment on where the market is on it today, it's all over the place. Quote
Mark Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 right for Mantetsu, not sure of the relationship to the actual Railroad, I know a few swords have the railroad logo on them, this one does not Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 Excellent article by Ohmura-san on the Mantestu factory: http://ohmura-study.net/998.html Ohmura-san page with pics of the Mantesu-to with Koa Isshin slogan, just like yours (and mine!): http://ohmura-study.net/712.html The Mantesu blade was made with Manchurian steel, was researched thoroughly, and was a high-quality blade; hardest edge rating, yet able to not break in freezing conditions. In tests, it went through chain-mail and body armor. Quote
