hockeydad Posted July 31, 2016 Report Posted July 31, 2016 Just looking for some info on this sword. I was told it is a pretty rare blade, 27-1/8". Quote
Brian Posted July 31, 2016 Report Posted July 31, 2016 Rare because it is very unusual to have such a long Showato with arsenal stamp. Would have had to be special order. It is possible that it is one of the few exceptions where a handmade sword ended up with a Sho stamp. Or maybe just one that was custom ordered and isn't fully traditionally made. Either way, it is unusual. Not worth a huge premium, but worth investigating further. 2 Quote
