Hi all. Once I read on another forum a thread about a Tachi made to celebrate the manchurian sword factory or possibly the manchurian railroad. Now I've found this one :

I wonder for which occasions were made such Tachi with Showa stamps.

What about the blade and Yoshiaki ?

 

Thanks for feedbacks if any.

I have been told they are presentation swords for events like Sumo.

Totally skipped about that... horse races too, damn...

 

Thanks.
