    Hi Peter...good pics. FYI we always post mei with the end of the tang at bottom of pic...just easier for those translating (they get a lot of requests)

    well apparently Piers, @Bugyotsuji it came from the 'old englsh' fēowertīene niht meaning fourteen nights.

    i have no idea about this but I put the following part of the non-Japanese script into a google search and it came up with the following in Burmese .... maybe something or maybe nothing.

    Looks like a nice genuine example to me Ron. These are certainly not Nihonto but they are a piece of history. This last pattern is less common than earlier patterns and therefore desirable among collectors to 'complete' their collections of Type 95's A little more info here. http://ohmura-study.net/957.html

    I guess your talking about the nakago ..... try a course piece of cotton cloth and a little oil ... rub it hard and touch up every few months....it will stop the red rust and will not change the nature of the patina but Autosol will (in the negative).

    Hi Ron, I'm with Hamish....no place in my collection for this ..blade or otherwise (and I'm very forgiving). also ..... if you can't remove the tsuka 'without damaging it' .. then unfortunately there is even less chance of ever getting a valued opinion on the blade itself.
