Is this worth restoration?
Ian replied to W K Clifford's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
I like it, if you like it then restore it. The fittings in my opinion are of good quality. The issue for me is what a polish would do to the openings -
Hello Gents Has anyone come across this type of Hamon before, It repeats itself every 10 inches, they have one the same in the Victoria and albert museum with a fake UMETADA MYOJU mei, and mine has a fake Tamba no kami Yoshimichi mei. The rest of its characteristics resembles gendai Yokohama school. I have owned this sword for 20 years now, and have found nothing in any books I have, appart from the one below. Any clues?

A big gamble to take without the sword in your hand ! I'm not even sure the theme is the same on the tsuka and saya?
