ROKUJURO Posted April 11, 2018 Report Posted April 11, 2018 Steve,a close-up photo of the NAKAGO without HABAKI would be helpful (from above, not at an angle). The TSUKA-ITO is not Japanese. Quote
loiner1965 Posted April 11, 2018 Author Report Posted April 11, 2018 hi jean. its not my sword but on a website. i have bought several swords from them years ago and to be truthful all i bought have been bargains....i occasionally lo me baffledok into this site for rifle parts and obsolete calibre rifles , again i bought good. this sword just had me baffled with the mei as i initially thought it was Japanese script kanji but it just looked too amateurist and sloppy. so curiosity got the better of me so i posted on here . edit....just been on the website and the sword as been sold. not to me i must add as i dont buy on impulse Quote
Stephen Posted April 11, 2018 Report Posted April 11, 2018 http://www.spandaumilitariashop.com/signed-antique-Japanese-katana/ marked sold, maybe a GI tried his hand at kanji, we've seen it before, the seppa! scarry!! Quote
