  1. Thank you Slowly going through the the threads and sub threads - Dean
  2. Thanks Brian That explains a lot and I appreciate your response - Dean
  3. Thankyou all for your input So can I ask - As some believe it to be oil quenched does this mean the sword was made the traditional way by folding the steel ? Oil quenched makes a harder better blade is this correct ? To sum it up - Oil quenched sword made the traditional way, of a superior quality from a well known and respected sword-smith who was operating and making swords during WW2 for officers and NCO’s etc Nice mounts and saya with its original Jungle leather cover Just want to get this right, please excuse my asking of probably very simple questions, it’s all a learning curve for me. Thankyou Dean
  4. I would like to add it’s not had a polish and shows actual use but not been abused. - Dean
  5. Shots of the blade with all the tiny nioi crystals In it ,
  6. It arrives tomorrow so all will be seen and told
  7. I’m asking for better pics today, hopefully I can update you all. With regards to the polish, I don’t think it’s owner would have gone for it had it been bad. The photos are low resolution with lots of light , so is difficult to make any judgement on polish in my opinion. - D

  13. Also to add as I collect WW2 militaria a good showato of WW2 period would very much suit me. Do you think the blade is oil quenched ? Thanks - D
  14. Ok thanks for the opinion, I’ll wait to see what others say also
  15. These are all I have for the minute , what’s your thoughts on the blade and the maker. I thought the hamon was rather nice, what’s your thoughts. I will get you more shots when I can - D
