  3. in Gendai toko meikan...maybe drop a line to Chris B...he should be able to help you out/
  4. Think that says it all, nice all the way around, one of the head scratcher's perhaps a shot of the stamp pulled back enought to show the hamachi and hamon running into the nakago? sometimes too close is just that.

    Dr B sent me the close up here is it cropped and reduced, also a nice pic of the kissaki, it may be a show stamp but it seems to rounded, what's every ones else's take on it? The blade is very clean and a wartime polish may be hiding the hada, still nice peace of history even if turns out to be a war stamp.
