Peter M Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 Hello all, Was wondering if this is an example of a nakago that has been welded/reattached to the blade? Regards Peter M http://cgi.ebay.com/Japanese-Sword-Aizu ... dZViewItem Quote
GregD Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 No,when the suriagi was done the new yasuri was stopped before the mei to retain as much as the old yasuri and mei as possible.Sometimes you will see this done with mumei swords or swords where most of the mei is removed,an area is retained if possible for ID and oridginal sabe for a guess at the age Greg Quote
Henry Stewart Posted January 16, 2009 Report Posted January 16, 2009 To be fair,if thats a case of butt welding,the purpetrator can have a job here anytime? Henry Quote

Regards Peter M http://cgi.ebay.com/Japanese-Sword-Aizu ... dZViewItem No - see explanation given above - and from my experience of that dealer, if he thought that was the case, he'd say. He's quite particular about his swords. Kevin Quote
