This was on the NMB before so just an update after restoration and received yesterday

 

Original info when first posted so there may be some updated info.

7ft 5inch length complete - Blade around 15" - Tang around 15"

Circa 1761

Your pole arm is well balanced and has good line or shape and length.

Hamon curls over the kissaki and down the mune for some length.

Lower hamon looks like horse teeth pattern while upper is wide suguha.

 

Polish by Les Sheppard

New saya and pole refurbished by Mike Hickman-Smith

 

Before and after polish

A majestic new saya - glorious texturing

Looks awesome!

 

I just bought a Naginata with wooden practice blade as sword laws are strict in my state, hope it looks half as good!
