MacTheWhopper Posted February 27, 2022 Report Posted February 27, 2022 Purchased this sword today at a gunshow. It is a type 3 sword. It may be a traditional blade. I was hoping to get some info on the smith first before posting on another thread to see if it is traditionally forged. 1 Quote

Lareon Posted February 27, 2022 Report Posted February 27, 2022 It is traditionally made, you can see the star stamp on the nakago Quote
MacTheWhopper Posted February 27, 2022 Author Report Posted February 27, 2022 Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate the information. Quote
