I picked up several swords this week. I really like this one. It has condition issues but I really like the look of it as it is and the the pattern of the hamon and the tree bark tsuba. I'm going to have to add pictures one at a time and I will add some of it dismantled later on.

I have never seen anything like that But I like it a lot. Congratulations on your find and as you I look forward for others to join in and explain what we are looking at. Thank you for sharing.

Very cool pickup! Any backstory or information on how and where you found it? I agree with all the above:thumbsup:

 

Edit: it always kills me to see blades laying on tables, couches or even the floor. Please! Put a piece of soft cloth or pillow under the blade if you're making photographs or just want to put it down.

Thank you, I will try to get some better pictures of it today taken apart. I took the first couple of pictures during some down time while I was working so I couldn't get very indepth. I believe this as well as the others I picked up last week came from the estate of a WW2 11th AB vet and where likely acquired while he was there for occupation. He brought back a lot of stuff from Japan besides swords. If I had more money I probably would have tried to buy some of the future and wall scrolls as well. Three including this one were civilian, one was a tanto I posted up earlier and one is a army civilian sword. It's pretty interesting as well even though it has a wartime production blade. I'll try to post up a picture of all of them together.
