Hi everyone, friend of mine picked up some really nice swords over the weekend. Seems they were purchased at an antique store in the 50's and left to sit in an umbrella stand, untouched, for the last 58 years. Hence, they are in pretty pristine condition.

 

1) Traditional Gendaito signed: Tadatsugu. In flawless polish with tight itame hada with ko-nie, suguha. The fittings are army, also in excellent condition signed and matching numbers, with tassle.

 

2) Army, late war fittings which again match are numbered. Signed : FusaHaru; dated March 1945. Blade in good condition, does not seem traditionally made. No pitting or flaws of any kind.

 

3) Shingunto with all matching fittings, unsigned, with a possible temper cannot tell if it is machine made, again no flaws rust or pitting. With unusual tassle.

 

4) Army, field grade parade saber (w/mon) fair to good shape.

 

5) Army, company grade blade with heavier and wider acid etched blade (about 30in long.)

 

I am not good at valuing ww2 blades,considering the inflated collectors market with these types of blade. A ballpark would be welcome as he is going to sell them. The gendaito I know he could get a decent amount for.

 

Thanks in advance, John
