registered in the uk and the USA also the sword he is selling is located in the usa and not the uk
cant help with the swordsmith peter but i know that this style of engraving is found on mid to late war swords as i have had a few which match the style
that makes sense !....When i recieved the sword in question i wondered maybe if the vet had put the fabric on instead ! i was going to put a metal sarute on it but now i will keep the fabric sarute in place just as the Japanese officer intended
recently bought a shingunto that had its sarute replaced with a piece of lace like this kai example i just found online , can any of the more experienced guys here shed more light on this ?
thanks
same here in the US. Oh well, will be a nice surprise when it does show.
regards.
