Same swordsmith we discuted here from a sword I just bought :

 

 

No Seki stamps on this sword, should be a good quality Showato but still probably a non traditionnal blade.

 

Seems to be in good condition, seller is asking 1600€ (same in dollars) for auction. May be paid in 4x as possible on this website.

Let me know if anyone interested, I may ask for more information or photos.

 

With what is said to be an original bill for this sword, or it is a bring-back paper from its original owner ?

Hi,

 

I was visiting the page Alban indicated out of curiosity and can't resist sharing a different seller's response when asked by one user to show the nakago of what I would consider (as a newbie) a more than dubious Type 94.

 

"Hello, is it possible to have it dismantled?
Sincerely"

 

"Hello, once purchased you can take it apart as many times as you like. "

 

 

Finally, he has ended up uploading a photo....

Does not look like a Japanese blade.

Yes that one is a chinese repro, pretty obvious, I hope nobody will fall in

@KaruIt seems that at least this time no...

 

 

I took it as a bit of a joke thinking that the price would dishearten any newbie... now I feel more at ease.
