Jody Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 Evening Please could anyone assist in identifying this sword much appreciated. Quote
Geraint Posted June 7, 2022 Report Posted June 7, 2022 Hi Jody. Welcome to NMB. Not sure how much you know so forgive me if I over simplify. This is not a military sword but an earlier civilian mounted or Samurai sword. It looks to have been slightly shortened at the nakago/tang. I appreciate that you are wroking with your phone but an overall shot of the bare blade and another of the whole of the nakago would be helpful. Don't do anything more than wipe the blade with some light oil and avoid touching it with your fingers. Looking forward to some others jumping in here. All the best. Quote
