  1. Holy s! Are they Chinese made?
  2. Tensho and Mike, thanks for sharing your swords. I also acquired two type 8 kyu a few years ago, one dress sword and one with a traditionally forged combat blade. Alex
  3. I think the Kabuto gane and the ishizuki are original, rest are reproductions.
  4. The sword appears to be legit, I think the sword was sent to China for a Chinese made saya with fittings.
  5. John, that’s what I suspected as well. The shape of the cherry blossoms is way off.
  6. This is from my 94…
  7. Not sure about it’s Japanese craftsmanship, and the spring holds the chuso looks very new, just my 2 cents
  8. So from another forum the owner of this sword claimed that all the fittings are original WW2 era and they were ‘hand crafted’ by Japanese smiths, not sure if it’s true.
  9. WW2 blood chit
  10. Bruce and Thomas, The number underneath is 173.
