EdWolf Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Just to show my latest addition. Old blade, suriage. Signed omi (no) kami ____. The fittings are very nice and show little wear. 8 2 2 Quote
Polaria Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Nice looking sword. Five mekugi-ana is pretty rare. I wonder how many times the blade has been remounted. 1 Quote
EdWolf Posted January 18 Author Report Posted January 18 Just noticed the low quality of the scaled image in my initial post. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Good early Type 94 mounts with separate Sarute barrel, very nice. 3 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 18 Report Posted January 18 Note the curve in the tsuka, like we were discussing on that other thread. Seen more in 94s than 98s. 1 Quote
EdWolf Posted January 18 Author Report Posted January 18 The curved tsuka is in line with the curve of the blade. Gives it a pleasant look. And because we militaria collectors like details a picture of the centered release button. 5 1 Quote

Volker62 Posted January 19 Report Posted January 19 beautyful shaped Ed! Perhaps Tsuguhira? what is your opinion? 1 Quote
EdWolf Posted January 19 Author Report Posted January 19 Hi Volker, I was also thinking of Tsuguhiro. Just by comparing the following blade at uniquejapan.com. It shows a lot of similarities. https://new.uniqueja...tsuguhiro-wakizashi/ I'm by far an expert and maybe other members can jump in. Regards, Ed Quote
