    Hello together, I always find it nice to see a face to the smith. I found a photo of Ishido Teruhide (Kikuchi Seiichi) - 石堂輝秀 (菊池清一) b.1900 - d.1982 I have a sword from him and hope to make others with it also a small joy. SOURCE: http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~ttoishi/sub18.htm https://www.kurashigetools.com/english/ Maybe there is interest to collect more photos from WWII smith's here.

    Hello all, I am getting better at reading kanji, but often I still need help. This is a gendaito with a star stamp in rinji seishiki koshirae. X? X? Masa Kuni Saku (May 1944) Thanks in advance for the help with the complete translation.

    Hello Chris, I know the seller. It is 100% fake. He also has NCO Gunto, also fake.

    I have here in my collection a single Menuki and Kashira. If I see this correctly, then this type of Koshirae is also in the book of R. Fuller and R. Gregory on page 42/43 to find.

    Hello all, here I have two more examples for comparison: https://www.antique-swords.com/924-1938-model-Imperial-Japanese-NCOs-shin-gunto.html https://www.antique-swords.com/C06-Late-War-WW2-Japanese-Army-Officers-Shin-Gunto-Katana.html As Dave R. said in another thread about the menuki: "They look like Chuso release buttons for Shin Gunto..."

    Thanks Ray, I really appreciate your help.

    Can someone help me with the translation please? The tanto is for sale and unfortunately I did not get better photos. Maybe Bizen Osafune Sukesada? Thank you very much.

    Of course, Bruce. PM send.

    Hey, thanks a lot for the help Klaus and Steve. I really appreciate the accurate translation from you, Steve. Thank you. At this moment I am trying to find something about katsunori. But I can only find the Rikugun Jumei Tosho Tottori Katsunori. This is a Gunto with oil hardening and seki stamp. Does anyone of you have more information about this katsunori?

    This is the link.: https://www.ebay.com/itm/143800752367 The seller only wants to ship within the U.S. Maybe a member from the U.S. can buy it for me 🙂
  19. Itomagoi
    Hey Brandon, no, unfortunately I could not buy it, because the seller does not offer international shipping. He has promised to inform about a shipping to germany, but he has not contacted me anymore. What a pity. You can still find it on ebay.

    Hi Mal, I have also downloaded the file and think it is great. I like it very much. Thanks for your time and effort.
  21. Itomagoi
    I agree with you, Chris.
  22. Itomagoi
    Thank you John!

    I found the sword here: https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=12744766 But I think it is a bit too expensive.
