Jcremer24 Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 WWII Gunto sword. In decent shape signed by Sato Yukihira. This sword comes from the Seki prefecture and was made in 1942(ish) - My guess, feel free to chime in. Comes with type 98 koshirae also in decent shape. Some corrosion and rust spots on the tsuba and seppa. Tassel is period original, but certainly not original to the sword. Please feel free to ask any questions. Asking $1600 but will consider offers and will sell the sword without the tassel for $1300 obo. 5-10% of this sale will be donated back to NMB 1 Quote

Kolekt-To Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 Do we know anything about the smith "Yukihira"? Sounds like a good deal from what you have shown thus far. Quote

Kolekt-To Posted June 3, 2021 Report Posted June 3, 2021 Thanks for the info! You've done a good job of offering reasonably priced sale options. Under consideration, as I'm sure others are/will consider, as well. 1 Quote
