    This appears to be one of the immediate post war souvenir swords assembled from real parts.

    Looks like an early "Shinto" Wakizashi: https://casiberia.co...nto-wakizashi/sh1015

    You can still be accurate on what it is, but vague on precise details to prevent unnecessary interest.

    Hi Ron, can we get a look at the Kai Gunto mounts?
  5. PNSSHOGUN
    Sounds like some real dunderheads in your post office, hopefully turning up the heat like that smartens them up in the future.

    No need for alarm, there are plenty of examples with "regular" Ito-Maki as well. If you had to do it all over again, the Tsumami-Maki is a bit nicer (for my tastes).

    A small observation regarding Wakase fittings is they often have Tsumami-Maki style Ito.

    Looks rather new, artificially aged Nakago, dreadful acid polish.....

    Very good smith, please keep it safe as a family heirloom.

    Not quite sure what point is being made here?
  14. PNSSHOGUN
    Given the simplification of fittings & reduction in quality, a last stage variant using less man hours seems most likely.

    If memory serves me correctly, original Bo-hi finishing well below the Yokote is a Kantei point for Koto. However, telling if a Bo-hi is original to a sword is another matter entirely.
