  1. Friend has a Ww2 officers sword and tanto wartime bring back , could people help with translation please.
  2. Help with signature please on this sword, nice hamon on it but last 3rd of blade is very worn, Suya stamped tsuba and # 898 to hilt fittings and tang. Cheers
  3. Assertively clean steel as much as you want but as mentioned its not been touched for 40 years and steel doesnt stay that bright after 40 years, not sealant on surface.
  4. Yes, as mention it was more the hilt binding i was questioning, late 1800s or WW2 rebinding.
  5. Yes as mentioned, sayas been painted the samf metallic bronze colour my mother used on hernails back in the 70s!
  6. Blades tired and i thought it a bit heavy but handles very well, back edge of tangs about 8mm at widest!
  7. Another recent bulk purchase of blades.Curious about the bindings on the handle, uniform thick cotton or canvas, has anyone seen similar?
  8. I just cant work out how its so bright, seller said its been untouched for 40 odd years and no sign of sealant.Any thought on what to try on the tang to get some air to it as cant leave it sooooooo bright!!!!
