SwordGuyJoe Posted December 4, 2017 Report Posted December 4, 2017 I got a chance to see this one in mpls. It’s a really nice sword! Had it been one from the group I collect, I’d have snapped it up in an instant.
matthewbrice Posted December 7, 2017 Author Report Posted December 7, 2017 Thanks Joe! When Chris Bowen looked at it, and pointed out the utsuri I was very surprised--because I hadn't thought to look for utsuri in a gendai.
vajo Posted December 7, 2017 Report Posted December 7, 2017 Matt i had a yoshiharu and a munemitsu you see there all what you know. Utsuri is not seldom in Gendaitos thats my opinion. Maybe the most didn't look to a gendaito in the same way as a older nihonto.
matthewbrice Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Posted December 17, 2017 Price lowered to $2895 obo. Thank you!
David Flynn Posted December 18, 2017 Report Posted December 18, 2017 8th Dec in Japan, is 7th Dec Hawaii. so it was made the same day as Pearl Harbour.
matthewbrice Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Posted January 4, 2018 UPDATED INFO ON THIS SWORD: This sword is dated on the reverse side of the nakago Dec. 8th, 1941--the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor (Japan time--due to the Intl Date Line; so Dec. 7, 1941 in Honolulu). For those of you who viewed the original listing of this sword--I had originally described it as having been dedicated the day after Pearl Harbor, but I received comments from a number of WW2 enthusiasts that in Japan, due to the International Date Line, Dec. 8th is the date of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
