Eric Thanks for the information. Not sure what it means but the blade curvature on the signed one is 1in and 3/16s. It has alot more curvature than the other one. Thanks again Odell

I am going to have a friend take some pictures of this sword and the other one in the next couple of weeks. I will see if I can get some to post the pictures the. The other sword is real unusual,but is not named. They are both old,but the sadamori one is the older of the two. There were several people that looked at them at SOS. Two people spent over an hour each on them. Both of them said these were far the best blades in the whole show. Thanks for all the comments. Odell

I had a japenese lady that lives here tell me what was written on the storage case. It was the complete history of the sword,from who made it to the temple it was given to by the family. The tang is marked with his name. I took it along with several other swords to the SOS last year and had several people look at it. This one and one other I got from the same place gererated alot of interest. I got this one and 4 others fron the veteren who shipped them home during the occupation. Sorry no photos. Odell

I have a very early sword maid by this person. Can anyone give me some information on him? Thank You in advance Odell
