  1. for sale .hand forged Pattern 1933 Shin Gunto .Maker Ishido Teruhide .

    This Katana is in absolutely perfect condition ....both Koshirae and blade ...

  11. Any help would be grand..... OK 1) one side is very shiny and worn.(inside when worn 2) Outside is brown aged look 3) really nice Hamon 4)no signature on blade but there is on the Wood..under the copper/handle The cord is really quite old but really original I would say This was a bring back from J Force in 1946 NZ .Blade is incredibly sharp. I took the platelets of the handle off and I was surprised to find a faded signature on the wood. Also the tang has 2 holes Any help would be great.
