Grey Doffin Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 Hi Charlie, No one will be able to tell you value accurately without seeing the sword in hand. That said, best guess given the condition (not the greatest), is somewhere between $600 and $1,200. That's just a guess; I could be way off. Resist all urges to fix/repair/improve the sword. Anything you try is likely to cause damage and lower value. Restoration needs to be left to properly trained craftsmen. Grey 2 Quote
Apexcrazed Posted June 17, 2021 Report Posted June 17, 2021 Grey, what era would this sword belong to? Quote
Grey Doffin Posted June 18, 2021 Report Posted June 18, 2021 Hi Dan, Maybe late Koto (16th century) or early Shinto (17th century) but in hand examination is needed for a more definite guess. Grey Quote
