ribendao Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 Just saw this one listed. Thought you guys would want to take a look. Scabbard is strange and the blade is in rough shape. What are your thoughts? https://hibid.com/lot/112355593/Japanese-ww2-samuri-sword-has-copper-handle/?q=&ref=lot-list Quote
Infinite_Wisdumb Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 hard pass. looks nothing like mine. cant see arsenal stamps in those pics. saya is incorrect. no numbers to be seen Quote
Shamsy Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 100% Genuine but rough condition with repainted saya, deformed handle (not uncommon and one small reason the handles became aluminium), rusty blade and maybe a replacement barrel bolt. The barrel bolt is the only real issue, but it's hard to see what is going on there. Fuchi stamps are on the other side so you can't see them. I mean, if it matched it would be okay, but not really a great example. Quote
BANGBANGSAN Posted February 7, 2022 Report Posted February 7, 2022 The blade it very rough,鸠目钉 is replace by something not for any gunto. Scabbard is correct version.But not the right one for collectors. Quote
