vajo Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 Any idea about the mei? 瑞峯 造 Zuiho tsukuru Nagoya Kosho Arsenal stamp https://www.ebay.com/itm/KATANA-ANTIQUE-Japanese-LONG-SWORD-68-8cm-SIGNED-ZUIHO-WWII-ARMY-GUNTO-Type3/132482692889?hash=item1ed8957719:g:zyAAAOSw8vNaaiM4 I remember this guy sells a kai gunto with a cryptical mei that no one knows. 1 Quote
SteveM Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 There is another Zuihō sword here at this site http://www.nipponto.co.jp/swords3/KT327730.htm That site says the smith ceased to make swords after the war. Also found a reference to another Zuihō sword on Twitter https://twitter.com/katanayushindou/status/586002874313736192 1 Quote
vajo Posted February 2, 2018 Author Report Posted February 2, 2018 The sword was a Shigefusa high grade gendaito. I sadly missed the auction. I goes for 2500 Dollar a good price in my eyes. Anyone here in the board buy it? Would love to see some pictures. Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted February 2, 2018 Report Posted February 2, 2018 2500 USD is not expensive for this smith. Quote
Ontario_Archaeology Posted February 3, 2018 Report Posted February 3, 2018 Looks like the same bidder bought both this and this . . . https://www.ebay.com/itm/142672402354?_trksid=p2471758.m4704 Matt Quote
Surfson Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Is the handle wrap original from the arsenal? It seems very unusual. Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 I think the wrap is 99% for real Quote
vajo Posted February 4, 2018 Author Report Posted February 4, 2018 Looks genuine for me. I like the Koshirae looks very well made. Quote
