Shin-Gunto

[dynnis]

Is this a genuine manucturers stamp on a Shin-Gunto?

 

There is also number 11 stamped under, not clearly visible.

[PNSSHOGUN]

Hello, do you have pictures of the rest of the tang, fittings and blade?

[dynnis]

I will Ask for them and post the photos when I get them👍

Thanks! So it might be worth to buy.

 

i have turned the photo of the stamp.

The sword looks like a Chinese reproduction.  I would wait for @PNSSHOGUN to look at the tsuba (crossguard).

[Brian]

Looks like a repro to me at a quick glance.

nonsense

[dynnis]

I didn’t notice those. I will Ask for better photos

Looks like the end of the nakago below the mekugi-ana has been welded on. Could the stamp have to do with a repair?

I would say it's a modern Chinese repro

[PNSSHOGUN]

Definitely a reproduction.

[dynnis]

Then I’ll stay away from it.

 

Thanks.

I know I have seen this seal script stamp on another sword a little while back. I tried to find it, but no luck.  If memory serves me correctly, that sword was considered a fake as well. My curiosity, though, would really like to know what that seal script says!
