    Its real, but someone did a rewrap of the handle. I dont hope he/she cut the menuki's for deco? Wait for a better example, you can injoy in many years.
  2. Kai-Gunto
    Looks original. The numbers should stand out on the blade near habaki.
  3. Kai-Gunto
    Very Nice koshirae.
  4. Kai-Gunto
    Navy dirk.
  5. Kai-Gunto
    It has a lot of pitting. Wait for a better example.
  6. Kai-Gunto
    Sad how some people take things apart and the parts vanish. I would sure also get the ashi's made if it was mine. Forgot to say.......fantastic item, wonderful habaki. Looking forward to the blade.
  7. Kai-Gunto
    IMO, 2&3 is original
  8. Kai-Gunto
    Could it be mounted for rebellion?
  9. Kai-Gunto
    I have some issues about the missing seppas and it looks like they was never mounted. Theres a bat on the ura side of the tsuka. Why only on ura? I got this picture in a search....

    I wasnt sure, now I am. I hope it returns to "Showel22".

    The collar is the scabbard mouth , theres no habaki. All real Japanese swords has one, this hasnt!
  12. Kai-Gunto
    Not real Japanese sword. Sold to the troops from local people. Looks like something made in Burma!

    Heres my large and small kaigunto. The small one has 2 stamps on the seppa. One for Toyokawa (anchor in sakura) and the other is company logo (Gunto Sei Saku Jo) Located in Tokyo. The company was owned by Mr. Matsuyama. This firm made koshirae for both army and navy, as well as koshirae for police, diplomatic, and ceremonial uses.

    Heres the saya out of the cover.
  16. Kai-Gunto
    Its an old blade with black high gloss lacqured wood saya with all fittings.
  17. Kai-Gunto
    My kaigunto...... Tsuka 21,2 cm. Nagasa 53,5 cm. Saya 70 cm. Saya is also much longer than normal for blades. I have checked inside and its made for the blade.

  22. Kai-Gunto
    These screws are possible to make out of a old iron screw. Just shape it and rust it.
  23. Kai-Gunto
    The sword in the thread does have that feature. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/10649-huge-katana-775-cm-nagasa-help-please/
