IJASWORDS Posted November 29 Report Posted November 29 Good quality IJA WW2 swords in very good condition are getting rarer. Swords with a great blade made by one of the best Gendai sword smiths of the era are super rare, collectable and are good investments, as good traditionally made Gendai-to are now being recognized for their aesthetic value. In the less common aluminium saya, magnificant fittings with the original coloring intact, handle binding is original and intact. A very high quality original sword. Being the light weight softer aluminium saya, there is a little paint loss, but shows its original patina for a sword taken to war. The blade is outstanding, showing its hamon and Ko Itame hada, and is still ubu-ba. Made in May 1941, the Mei reads Hachi-Man Dai-Satsu "The God of War"! No rust, no pits, no chips, a blade to enjoy. At USD2600, posted to you, it would be a great addition to the collector and investor. 1 Quote
