loiner1965 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 need better pics before i can post on here but it needs a good polish....it comes with the surrender papers which i will post here....from its appraisal in 1945 it must have had a hard life as i cannot see no hamon or any blade characteristics...not wanting a huge sum but do not want a lemon ...here is the documents for the sword and any info from what you read be most welcomed Quote
IanB Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Steve, I don't see any surrender documents, just the details set out by a vendor in 1995. Judging by what was said to the original buyer, it is a bit short to be an uchigatana at 18". It was also stained and chipped at that date. Do you know what state the blade is in now? I note you live, as I do, in Yorkshire. Send me an email and we can get together. Ian Bottomley Quote
IanB Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 Steve, Ah the image of the original paper has appeared. Typical of what was issued to officers. Ian Quote
