    I can't express my gratitude about how Franco's has helped me. The fact that he loves it and is going to cherish it is my best dream. A very trusted buyer you should have no worries. Once again thank you my friend.

    You should post in military forum they can tell you all about the stamps https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/forum/45-military-swords-of-Japan/ See Boss just posted, yes they NCOs are not signed, it does no good to take handle off and they seldom go back together as tight.

    For a plain over cleaned copper habaki it looks fine, patina with liver of sulfur for black. One step more would be gold leaf...for top half...never paint.. .too tacky. The blade is very tired ol work horse. Not much can be saved. No Machi means no polish left.

    Not really rare but do help getting a higher price. Be sure to check for sale section. Some very nice ones have been up recently.

    I'd guess it depends on how many time one takes it out and expose to the elements. Mine come out twice a year, I probably could do it once, I have the wipe coming and one blade will be my test monkey. We'll see how it goes.

    Note you do not need to make one like that for a show that's a heavy duty one for shipping just the blade. Edit Tom posted while typing
