xxlotus8xx Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 Greetings, I humbly seek advise on this mei and blade. My novice eyes tell me the blade *LOOKS* authentic enough. And that it is WW2 military. Someone is selling for 500.00 (which is probably what it is worth....but??) http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxlotus8xx/5191339510/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxlotus8xx/5191339302/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxlotus8xx/5191339118/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxlotus8xx/5190744557/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxlotus8xx/5191338646/ Many thanks in advance.

Grey Doffin Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 Signed Kanetada, I believe, and dated Showa Ju Shichi Nen Ichi Gatsu: January of 1942. As long as there are no serious problems with blade or mounts the price is fine; you'll be able to get out of it what you have in or even make a buck or 3 when the time comes to move on. Grey Quote
xxlotus8xx Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Posted November 20, 2010 Much thanks. Would the datestamp indicate forge date or?? I will check it out this weekend and post how it turns out. Quote
moss Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 Fair bit of missing fittings though Ray, Those will all add up. Moss Also just an edit for reference Ray,probably should be in the military section rather than nihonto. Quote

Grey Doffin Posted November 20, 2010 Report Posted November 20, 2010 Ray, Not sure what you mean by datestamp. There is a Seki Arsenal acceptance stamp, if that's what you are referring to. Grey Quote
