    Yup, and I've learned a thing or two haha. Thanks for all your help

    Side by side shots. The first one I posted is on the left, most recent one that came out of the box on the right. I'm pretty sure the left one is a repo

    What exactly do you mean by early? Did they change a bit over time?

    My collection has grown, a few months ago I decided to find a second general which will allow me to compare the first one too. Side by side shots will come eventually..... The tassel also came with this..... Anyone have any ideas? I think that is a family Mon, but don't know the purpose. Thanks!

    Something I wish I had jumped on a little bit more aggressively. I can't remember the final hammer price for this one buy it is beautiful.

    I have purchased two items from him. I didn't have any problems and I'm happy with what I got. There are some items that have had problems, and I have also noticed that he will change descriptions on returned items to make them appear different. Best thing out there is education and knowing what to look for when buying from anyone on ebay.

    I wonder if the mum was ground down for the same reason alot of rifles have their mum scratched out.

    I will keep an eye out when going through photographs for sale and post them here, unless a sperate thread would be better haha.

    Found another cool one on buyee. https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/e437981193 As for the airforce, I belive both navy and army had their own. It is interesting though that there would be an army pilot on a navy Air craft carrier as from what I have read the two branches did not work together.

    Added the sword Matthew had to my collection. I'm very happy with it. Maybe in a year something even shorter will pop up.

    This seller also has some swords from the Dawson book. I think i remember a similar auction a few months / a year ago... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-WW2-Riding-Sword-Saber-for-NCOs-and-Soldiers-1868-1945-Tsube-Menuke/254594537716

    How much do we know about these presentation swords? I imagine plenty of smiths would have wanted to present something to the Emperor as it would have been good for business....

    I came across this auction and thought it was interesting. I assume plenty of swords from smiths were presented to the Emperor. Might make for an interesting topic. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Katana-made-for-Emperor-Hirohito-by-master-sword-smith-Akihide-NBTHK-paper/254594531672?hash=item3b47044158:g:37MAAOSwrHheufYh

    I think the leather tab is also probably torn and may have had a leather cover like shown above.
  17. Ontario_Archaeology
    That otanto is amazing
  18. Ontario_Archaeology
    That's really cool, does someone in our community own that? Here is something I bought as a project a while ago
  19. Ontario_Archaeology
    Updated my post with a full sized kai next to my smaller one
  20. Ontario_Archaeology
    Here is mine.. TOYOMASA (豊政), Kanbun (寛文, 1661-1673), Bungo
  21. Ontario_Archaeology
    We have a topic for the long gunto, I thought it would be interesting to see the shortest ones as well.....
  22. Ontario_Archaeology
    And last weeks
  23. Ontario_Archaeology
    Showa has another one I think https://www.ebay.com/itm/362984946437
  24. Ontario_Archaeology
    Doesn't look too bad. Also isn't 1766 (blade) an extremely low production number? An argument can be made that the unmatching scabbard is a replacement during war time.
  25. Ontario_Archaeology
    The tassel was sold with the sword
