The following picture is of a late 19th century naginata of which the nakago was simply left as it was forged, complete with oxidation from the forge as well as a few hammer marks. The end of the nakago has been broken off, resulting in a rough end. Some rough filing was done to accept the habaki.

Up to this point this is the first and only case I have encountered thus far. Has anyone else run into this? Even for a quick low cost production blade I thought that nakago were at least cleaned.

Regarding the blade, it has crudely carved naginata-bi and large notare hamon (it is in too bad a state to see more than that unfortunately).
