ferrylaki Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 I found this gunto in an antique shop in Indonesia(Jakarta). in poor condition indeed. probably a machine made gunto, some of its fittings are missing. I'm wondering about the patina on the tang. this is a mumei sword and seem to have a very small stamp mark on the tang ( 3mm tall stamp) ... the pictures are not so good since it was taken in a hurry. the blade it self seem like too bright / it might been polished using some kind of metal polish. its a sharp sword indeed. the quetion is , do the patina on the tang seem real/genuine?? (not artificial made.) Quote
