Bruce Pennington Posted August 20, 2022 Report Posted August 20, 2022 @Lukewebb40 Donald, There is either an imperfection or a small stamp at the top of the nakago (tang) in your 5th photo. Could I see a clear shot of that? It's seems from the fuzzy photos that you have a wartime blade, with no signature (that's not uncommon). The cloth handle-wrap (ito) is missing, but you could have that re-wrapped if you like. Like Trystan said, a Type 98 in "combat" or "field" saya (scabbard). Quote
