indeed...must be n translation, choji oil I believe is mineral oil with a clove additive. How come he's doing it with the tsuka on I don't know, I was taught to do it with a complete bare blade.

Nigel and Phill ...very few on the board are qualified to call a mei gimei, I showed a sword in Tampa to many tables most come up gimei, a Japanese gentleman said not to worry it was later generation, don't give up the ship until you cover all ports.

you did ok on the frist sword buy, one really cant tell till you get it in hand for sure. John T lives in your state, id look him up in the above links he can get both done for you i belive.

I emailed the seller half way thru the auction, he was very confused to say the least, he had many letters saying that it was a fake. He bought the lot of flag, glasses, the sword with the belt and some other items....all that sounded like it was on the up. I think someone took him by taking out a good sword and adding the crapper. Its a sad day when he let it get out of hand the way it did. There's the chance that he was the one, but it did not sound that way to me.

it worked, see pix in wanted/for sale board
-

http://cgi.ebay.com/SIGNED-Japanese-NAV ... dZViewItem This is just a bit off for me to believe its true Japanese sword...fittings yes blade and habaki no. Tell me what you see or have I been sword gazing to much on Ebay. If I'm right someone's into it a bit hard even for a general tassel.
