    The same and ito-maki looks new. I think its post-war mounted.

    Theres a photo with a PO with a knot with black strap in the book by G & F. military and civil swords.....

    When mounting the ashi :Thin paper inside ashi preventing the scratching. Remove paper. I have used some leather ,fit in size and thickness and ashi is fitting tight.

    The stamps on the fuchi is completly wrong. Its a fake sword.
  5. Kai-Gunto
    Did You buy it from Showa22?
  6. Kai-Gunto
    Welcome. I think I have seen that dirk somewhere before. The shape of the nakago and the little mekugi-ana looks weird to me.
  7. Kai-Gunto
    These knots are made of metal thread, later silk/cotton. Only info I can give.

    Great work. I warned buyers before ,when it was possible on ebay. I was a Nihonto cowboy The seller "artgallery" had a great feedback? 658 feedbacks? Thats many , the frauds normally has a new or low feedback. http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=*artgallery*&ftab=AllFeedback

    Why would You buy a sword without handle? And that big rust spot at the tip! Is just way off.

    Lock was returned to me and shipped again and Thibault has now recived it. Frence postal service was the issue.

    This is a ken. Look at the nakago and the yokote near the tip. http://yakiba.com/Ken_MichiYuki.htm

    Yari.

    I would say blade and mounts is late 1800 to early 1900. The nakago is way off. Tsuba looks like its a replacment.

    A mixed sword ,done post-war.
  20. Kai-Gunto
    Wrong scabbard , its for a NCO shingunto. I would stay away.
  21. Kai-Gunto
    Its original,,but with a closer look , I saw its missing the wowen crowns on the tassel. So stay away from that. I think You got luck with artswords ,nice to deal with.

    The knot and sword belonges together. There was no knot rank system on the navy kyugunto. The green is tarnished silver.
  23. Kai-Gunto
    Showa starts 1926.
