    Just dead rust.

    Probably just depended on his mood, or who it was made for.

    Seki, is a town within Noshu(modern day Gifu). So, it really doesn't matter which one is used. Don't forget they also used Noshu Seki Ju.

    Japanese Forces carried swords, not only for symbology but to be used as actual weapons. All vanquished militaries surrender their arms. Most are usually destroyed (hence photos of Japanese swords being destroyed). The rest then are usually dispersed in some way by the Victors. So, at the end of WW2, when Japan surrendered, I would say all weapons collected, are spoils.

    Sorry, but it's a Chinese Fake.

    Kyu Gunto, signed Gassan Sadakazu.

    Unfortunately, this is a very bad Repro (fake).

    Here's another give away. Tadayoshi swords are signed Tachi Mei (except Waks).

    Going by the condition of the Nakago and the Yasurime, my guess is 20c Seki.

    Muramachi Mino, Kanetsune.
  11. David Flynn
    Yes.

    I know of a "GO" that was bought off another collector and was in Shingunto mounts. It was O'suriage. The NTHK, gave it as Shinto, however with decent polish, the NBTHK, gave it Go.

    Chinese copy (Fake).

    I have two sons. Both have stated that upon my demise, the swords will be sold and the money received, split evenly. I like Dee, don't see these as "Spiritual Items", I do see them as Weapons and Art. As much in my mind, I would like them to go to a good home, realistically, unless I manage to move them along before hand, I'll not have a say in the matter.

    Steve, may I suggest you acquire the book, Craft of the Japanese sword. What you appear to be lacking is, the ability to "Look into a Sword". Learn what features are desirable in each tradition. On the sword above, looks Shinto to me and of not very high quality.
