Bruce Pennington Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Aye yai yai! Oy Vey! I don't know which is worse - seeing the cut blade or seeing the high-gloss re-paint of the koshirae! I couldn't find a price, did you see one? Quote

ROKUJURO Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 A misunderstanding of O(UCH)-SURIAGE? Why destroy a star stamped GENDAITO? Quote
raynor Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Wouldn't surprise me if besides the sword stump it's all rayon and plastic, what with the amount of gloss it might as well be. Quote
Brian Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Average person in Japan, as well as many dealers, just consider wartime swords junk and/or illegal. They wouldn't bother to research that RJT swords and Gendaito are legal and could have been registered with some work.Damn shame. 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Well, it is possible this cut was done right after the war, right. And someone has simply “spiffed it up” for sale? Quote

Dave R Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 The tosugo look like current Chinese replicas to me. Quote
Ganko Posted June 23, 2019 Report Posted June 23, 2019 Destroyed a good gendaito and refinished all its mounts like they were putting lipstick on a pig. TomC 2 Quote
zook Posted June 26, 2019 Report Posted June 26, 2019 Raynor and Ganko's responses take the cake!! - Quote
vajo Posted June 26, 2019 Report Posted June 26, 2019 what the hell they do. They kill the sword and keep the fittings from a chewing gum automat. Quote
