Gentlemen
Many Thanks, and I thought SS Daggers were tough....
If there is a nice clean 100% Army and Naval for sale out there with older blades I would like to know.
Regards & Thanks

Gentlemen
Much appreciated, I can send more pictures. Can you help me on value.
These two swords are represented as modified in the 1930s from older family blades etc.
Many Thanks
I would like comments on if the two swords pictured seem correct and as described below:
Katana guntou fittings
Maker: Mumei
Description: Mumei, gunto mounted osuriage koto.
Koto blade is most likely a family blade.
Sugaha hamon, ko-maru agari boshi.
Fittings: Tsuba and seppa do not have complete matching numbers.
--------------------
Katana Kaiguntou
Maker: Mumei
Description: Mumei, kaigunto mounted Showa period sword. Koto blade is most likely a family blade. The two mekugi-ana indicate that this blade may have been mounted in other fittings at one time.
Subtle gunome hamon, ko-maru boshi.
Regards
Robert
