Ron 2 Posted March 6, 2021 Report Posted March 6, 2021 My friend came across this and would like some help identifying it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote
Shamsy Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 It looks like a sword to me. Could be wrong, might be a spanner. Since you have the mei, better to post that in translation section. Old sword so better in nihonto area after it's translated. 1 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Mei is Taka/Yoshi Mitsu. Canvas saya cover, difficult to find surviving in good condition. 2 Quote
paul griff Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Hello, It’s a genuine Japanese civilian sword blade remounted ( two holes in tang ) for use during the latter part of the war...not in the best of shape but would probably be presentable with a sympathetic clean and tidy up.. Regards, Paul.. 2 2 Quote
Dave R Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 An older sword with a quick and dirty "going to war" alteration to the Saya! Also a very bad job of rebinding the Tsuka. There is potential there for both triumph and disappointment. 2 1 Quote
