Hi All, I thought I would share one of my latest and most exciting finds. It is a prototype Japanese NCO sword. There is one listed in Jim Dawsons book but the one he has pictured is a little rough. This one is in almost pristine condition. Since I took so many pictures I am just post a link to the pics. http://collectorsmilitaria.com/a_very_r ... 062612.htm Enjoy!

Looks like it could be a nice Hosho Yamato blade! I am surprised no one has pointed this out? Lets see a photo of the full sword (both sides) so we can see the shape. Also post a photo of the full nakago (both sides).

Hi Steve, Nice sword! I would get a sword care kit if I were you and clean and oil the sword. You would be surprised at how much it will brighten up!

Thank you Morita san!

Hi All, I just got in a very nice Gendai katana by Akihide. I am having trouble reading the full inscription on the nakago. I have the mei and date but am having trouble with the other inscriptions. Can some one translate it for me? Thanks in advance, Bill Rannow Mpls, MN

Hi Dan, I have lots of army and navy mounted swords available. Not many on my web site but maybe 20-25 of each in excellent condition. -
