Frank Reile Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 I picked up this sword a few years ago at a antique shop and put it up on the rack. The blade has two hada ware, but the blade is a thick heavy beast with a large o- kissaki,in WW2 civilian mounts with hangers and the price was right. I couldn't leave it behind. The blade has a 26" nagasa, kissaki is 3" long, the sori is 7/16", mihaba 1 5/16" wide, kasane is 7mm. I was wondering what you guys think about it, how long it was originally, the age. I'm sure it's no priceless treasure with it's flaws / condition. I'm sorry for my horrible photos. Frank R. Quote

Rivkin Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 Kissaki like this by default can be very late Nambokucho. For the rest the pictures are kind of bad. There is some masame, but that's about it. Kirill R. Quote
SAS Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 I have a feeling the o kissaki was originally chu kissaki, and it was tarted up. i like the tsuba. Quote
