ww2colorado Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Posted January 12, 2020 Guys not sure why but my photos are not being uploaded correctly. Seems when i upload them the flip sideways. Any help? Thanks guys, Chuck Quote
uwe Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 “.....州住兼久” Province is not visible in the picture. The smith is probably “Kanehisa” The nengo seems “昭和二十年?月” (Showa 20 = 1945). 1 Quote
ww2colorado Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Posted January 12, 2020 Uwe, thank you for your reply. I will pickup the sword and i will take more photos to post on the forum. Thank you again Quote
ww2colorado Posted January 12, 2020 Author Report Posted January 12, 2020 Here are a few photos of what i have got si far Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 Chuck, I've found that when my pics are posting sideways, a simple edit/crop, no matter how small on the edges, will fix the problem and they will post upright. Quote
SAS Posted January 12, 2020 Report Posted January 12, 2020 The nakago on this sword seems ginormous. Quote
reeder Posted January 13, 2020 Report Posted January 13, 2020 for $280 or whatever he was asking just grab it and figure it out later. Quote
ww2colorado Posted January 13, 2020 Author Report Posted January 13, 2020 Reeder i now know you saw the posting as well. Should be a decent blade for the price. Will update tomorrow with better pictures Quote

More information about the 関 stamp can be found at the link below. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/5999-arsenal-stamps/page-16?do=findComment&comment=315240 Nakago Reverse Seki 関 stamp followed by either January 1945 昭和二十年一月 or February 1945 昭和二十年二月. I am leaning toward February 1945. Edited January 14, 2020 by Kiipu 1 Quote
