    Depending upon the condition of the 95, you are essentially paying full price for one and getting the other for free.

    Buy one get the NCO for free, lol. It is the Nagoya black Saya one I posted. The sword here shows much promise. I would like to just buy the sword on its own merits, but I respect the owners wishes for a good cause. If sold through here donation to the board as well.

    Could just be the lighting, but the military generally shy's away from shiny paint except on parade items. 

    Need pics of the stamps as well.

    Agreed shiny is bad!!! This does seem to have a very slight gloss but nothing that could reflect.

  3. Not a bad piece, look up kizu and/vs ware, this looks more like ware from time and polish. Hard to tell via photo, first pic and last pic inorder look like loose nice nie maybe well... down the road some handa, nothing a Togishi can not handle. Second looks to be nie exposed by polish. A nice blade.

  4. Hi @Swords, what are your collecting goals, miliaria, before Meji....?

    I only as  ask well I am curious, in addition I have a friend with an WW2 NCO, and a Company grade gunto, carried by officers prior to the release of the Type 94 in 1934 sword, that need a good home. Briefly discussed below.

    Really nice sword, Rob!

     

    The numbers on the end of your tsuka are "34" and might match numbers on your metal fittings like seppa and tsuba.

     

    Boy, that hamon sure looks water quenched to me.  Any of you nihonto guys care to evaluate? 

    It looks water quenched, maybe special order. Could use more photos of the hamon, Koshirae, and the tassel.

  6. Sometimes you must grow thick skin, I learned that as I was trolled by someone no longer here or changed names when I started. In addition, to harsh but constructive critism I used for learning where my knowledge lacked, and studied. From the outside lookong in it seems you have taken some advice and done a little study. Nothing wrong with a slow learning  curve about a complicated subject. For now I would SITFU, listen and absorb, peak your study from reflecting on questions and/or answers given even criticism; you can also google and find most answers to your questions... which most time lead you to intersting forums here, actual sites like the NBTHK, and some rabbit holes. Congratulations on your sword!

     

    Just my advice, otherwise we are:flog:
