  4. here ya go Jean sold for 6825+55shipping you can see the size of the Ken in his hand, as Grey stated it was hard to run this down, not much in any of the books.
  5. the Ken auciton, any comments on the mei? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=019
  6. http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-Japanese-W ... dZViewItem we all have seen the high end gendaito, i think this must be a record for Nobufusa. Seller has a Ken going off in a hour that may reach this price or higher. when its over we can talk about the smith.
  7. if it has numbers on the blade its a NCO blade, see this link for more info. http://home.earthlink.net/~steinrl/military.htm one always wants to stop active rust on a blade. a light oil wiped on then excess off. is the first thing to take care of. As Rick said pic are in order to see what you have.
  8. post a for sale here or up on ebay
  9. I don't think the mei was cut to deceive, if you have seen any RKM you'd know this was not to pass as one but rather a attribution to the smith and school, maybe to carry into battle the sprit of RKM
