    Hello all and thank you in advance. I just purchased this Naginata and would appreciate if someone could translate it for me. I am going to post pictures of the whole pole arm in the General section as soon as I can. Again thank you. MikeR

    Paz, I was always told that “ you don’t pick the sword , the sword picks you. That being said if you have the means ($) and you would like to become the next caretaker of the blade then Go For It! If you are thinking about enough to post the question then it is probably calling out to you and if you you will never regret the purchase. We all have that one that we can’t explain the connection but something told us to buy it and that’s the one that we never sell. Don’t know why. Let us know how you make out. MikeR

    Just picked up another leather covered Tanto. I posted some pictures of my other one in another thread some time ago. Someone cut the top of the leather off for some reason, maybe to slid it back to remove the peg. See the pictures attached. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I am. Also if anyone could give me a translation of the smith it would be greatly appreciated. MikeR

    As far as the paint is concerned, I worked for GM at a plant that built airplanes in WW2 and they used a yellow primer on government parts. Can’t remember if it was called zinc- oxide or something else. I am sure that this same primer would have been available a lot of places during the war and after. This makes me believe, like others have said, it was probably painted by the GI that picked it up or maybe post war. Like the sword. MikeR

    Carlos, congratulations. It looks like you purchased what you like for a price that you are happy with and now with it in hand you are even more pleased, what more can you ask for. I am sure that this is only the beginning to a long relationship with Nihonto. Enjoy. Keep up the good work with your investigating and happy collecting. MikeR
