thanks ... again ..

guys, Thanks for your help. My mate is very glad he picked it up. Can I ask 1) What is the significance of the characters on the mune ? 2) Why is the date seems more complicated than others. cheers, Jeff S.

My friend brought this sword recently .... can someone help us translate the signature. It’s interesting that the date is more complicated than other we have seen. There is also 2 characters on the edge of the tang. http://s779.photobucket.com/user/jeffasleep/library/ thanks for helping and merry Christmas Jeff s.

Hello, I’m a newbie to the Japanese sword scene. I’ve been doing heaps of reading and research mostly onlin, but sadly I know that experience counts. The following photos are from a Gunto, captured in borneo by Australians, but the tsuka-ito tsukamaki is looks like a sock. I can not remember seeing this type of ito . Was this once a traditional binding ? The tsuba is also not the usual gunto type. http://imageshack.us/g/1/10377413/ Jeff
