Sporkkaji Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Wondering if the seller's information is likely correct, or if they mean something else entirely? I'm kind of on the same page as the seller, not something I would want to have around. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 0761669897 Quote

Even if the "stripes" on the habaki were correctly interpreted, the sword stands in no relationship to the following unbelievable, horrible, but true strory.

Clive Sinclaire Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Gentlemen I believe I first heard of this "contest" in David Bergamini's excellent but highly controversial book, "Japan's Imperial Conspiracy" which was published in 1971 and caused quite a stir at that time.
