  1. That's Grey and Mark with back to us. Other photos I mainly see sword tables. Looking forward to the group dinner photo DanO
  2. If it's a WW2 It would have to be traditional made...if it has a stamp it could be rejected if not destroyed.
  3. Old M-14s doubt they have auto slect. Nam era Any 1911 WW2 or early. Unless they have one used in Nam my CO sidearm. Mainly group photos on the night out so I can put faces to name and the ones I do know to see how aging is going lol Book em DanO
  4. The old envy is rising, lest that still does. Have fun guys n gals I'll be there in spirit.
  5. I wouldn't pay opening bid but I'm not tsuba savvy.
  6. Let's see the other sword, with two rings it may be Navy
  7. Better shot of the stamp is needed @Bruce Pennington Does it match any of these?
  8. Following to hear opinion I think I smell lutefisk.
  9. We all know brother Simon has no fear...or lack of....shut my mouth lol
  10. Chris have we lost you? Was hoping we'd get to see the nakago of the naginata. Any others been taken apart? The curator really needs to have it in its files for the history of the sword.
  11. LEX you know very hard to tell from photos. If Ray can't offer a quote I'd go to the horse mouth. Mike Y. https://www.facebook...endo?mibextid=ZbWKwL I've been out of the market way to long.
  12. First I'd reach out to Mike Y. Did you add habaki? Looks like it's bent in right spot. Very puzzling indeed. Very lovely blade BTW
  13. Yokohama group made very fine swords. Part of Sukesada den
  14. You guys who feel the need to keep kicking Steven around is getting SAF try doing what grandma use to say " If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all" It's his learning curve let him have it. Being however slow it is.
  15. Blood thurst, the fact it was damaged in combat...you've seen this before Chris. I even think the military forum has a thread on it.
  16. As Nihonto but not in value We have seen battle damage swords go for BIG MONEY before on ebay.
  17. Link to Iowa Gold Star at camp dodge. https://www.bing.com/search?q=iowa gold star museum camp dodge&PC=SANSAAND&form=LWS001&ssp=1&cc=US&setlang=en&safesearch=off Not sure if same curators are there but maybe a reach out to cut some red tape
  18. No rust on blades keep in scabbard, oiled lighty, if you can see the oil streaks/beads its to much. Rusty ones depends on how much rust if full rust oil well then the wrap in plastic wrap. Keep next too mounts. Just small spots referr to first step. I understand the bureaucracy even well known museums have swords rusting blades. Seen you posted again going to have a look
