John C Posted February 21 Report Posted February 21 There is a decently priced star-stamped Kaneshige being sold from Japan. Personally, I'm leery of buying from Japan so I'll post this for others. https://www.ebay.com/itm/326454670172? John C. 1 Quote

Guest When Necessary Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 5 hours ago, Stephen said: Dee seems to have her ear to the ground in nippon maybe she can help @KungFooey I searched but this sword is not for sale on Yahoo, Jauce or Mercari. Looks like the seller is only interested in the foreign marketplace. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 This seller lists swords both on ebay and Yahoo Japan auctions, and isn't one of the dodgy re-listers. The Gunto tend to appear on ebay and not Yahoo Japan... Quote
Stephen Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 https://www.ebay.com/usr/yamatohime724 Two others with attractive prices but with no bids. Ppl worried about kizu? We have seen Japanese sellers use eBay as a dumping around. Have to say if I was starting out the 700$ mumei wakizashi with papers Would be a starter. That said I haven't enlarged each photo to see if there's a problem. Quote
Stephen Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 PS I did take a quick look with the hadori polish there's really not much to learn from. Proceed with caution Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Posting more photos for later when the link goes dead. Seller got the date wrong, it's July 1944. I have another of his, same date, same fittings, but different painted numbers. Both have the light tan, steel saya, but double chuso release buttons. Quote
