paulb Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 not possible to be sure in this condition but based on the nakago, the quality of the kanji and overall look of the blade I would think it extremely unlikely. Quote
cisco-san Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 ols76, Is there on the other side of the tang also an inscription? P.S. Please sign your posts - forum rules!!! Quote
truelotus Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 the saya looked like a type 3 gunto saya ... though repainted I do agree that the blade is most likely not a traditional made :D Quote
