John C Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 Showa 17 (1942) Looks a little like Kanesuke but I am NOT a translator so I'm probably wrong on that. Appears to have a civilian gunzoku tsuba. Again, without a star stamp, it's a standard showa-to. John C. Quote
Gendai Posted August 3, 2023 Author Report Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) Huh, it did say that "Ubu nakago with one hole signed Kanenobu." It is a civilian blade also. Might consider getting it. Edit: Misread the name. Edited August 3, 2023 by Gendai Quote
Geraint Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 Dear Nike. It depends on what you mean by civilian, as John says this is a Showato and it seems rather a lot of money for what it is. All the best. Quote
mywei Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 Need to clarify what you mean by a 'good' sword and what you want to collect. Be aware that this is a showato, a different kettle of fish to traditional nihonto. The mei looks like Kaneharu 兼治 rather than Kanenobu 2 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted August 3, 2023 Report Posted August 3, 2023 Civil service tsuba for Gunzoku. Kabutogane looks strange, maybe civil? Same' looks new. Quote
