dancingbear038 Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 This is the final sword in the widow's collection of Japanese swords. Again thank you all for your help. Thomas B. Quote
Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 IMHO WWII same as n. 4 or even worse... Quote

ROKUJURO Posted June 6, 2018 Report Posted June 6, 2018 Thomas,is there a signature on the NAKAGO or a small stamp just below the HABAKI? Most blades of this era have some kind of signature. The blade is probably oil quenched.NAKAGO photos are upside-down and not sharp enough to see details. Quote
dancingbear038 Posted June 7, 2018 Author Report Posted June 7, 2018 No signatures or stamps, and my friend got this sword about twenty years ago if that helps. Quote
dwmc Posted June 10, 2018 Report Posted June 10, 2018 Most likely a Seki factory gunto. I agree with Stephen, a nice clean example... 2 Quote
