He looks very young for a seargent major. "In the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during WWII, a Sergeant Major (Sōchō) was a senior non-commissioned officer. Because the rank required significant military experience, Sergeant Majors were typically career soldiers between 30 and 45 years old."

The habaki didn't fit to the blade. Its not original.

Tachi signed mei - should read masamitsu looks shinto to me.

Who has a geiger counter?

This has all nothing to do with the initial thema. I see Godzilla coming.

Has anyone other than Kantaro taken measurements? I don't think this has anything to do with atomic bombs or power plant accidents. Moreover, the Tsuba do not date from the 2011 timeframe.

nice one John.

Thanks Kantaro I measure between 0.20µSv and 0.26µSv on that tsuba In the room, I have 0.11µSv – 0.15µSv normal.

I have two, because one of them is already nearly 20 years old, and I don't know how long the Geiger tubes last. Now I have a new one as well. However, the readings from the old one are still accurate.

Just for fun, I took some measurements of my collection using two different Geiger counters. I noticed that the old *tsuba* actually registered slightly elevated radiation levels. One Tsuba from the Muromachi period, featuring gold inlay, really started clicking away. Everything is still well within the safe range — but where does it come from?

Some smith before showa experimented with oil hardning. But your sword looks like a wartime showa-to.
-
Interesting blade. Maybe late nambokucho period. But die pictures should be better. I wonder why all that interest is in the fittings. Its a nice old blade.

It's an older nihonto blade in gunto (wartime mountings) koshirae.

刀 = sword

Looks like a nice Type94 Koshirae. For the blade you must show it full naked to see more. Its an old blade yes. But we need to see more.
