  1. Hello, Does anyone have an example of this type of koto Yari (kawari-gata ryo-shinogi-zukuri Yari) with hitatsura hamon? Best, John
  2. For those who are interested, these are the three swords dated Showa January 20 (1945). If anyone knows of a sword with a later date, please let me know.
  3. Yes, more early. Thank you. But I am looking for the last dated sword, which means later from Showa 20, January.
  4. Hello, I am looking for the last known dated sword of Kenzo Kotani in the Second World War, signed as Yasunori and Takenori. Over the years, I have found three swords, all dated Showa 20 (1945) January. Best regards, John
  5. Maybe interesting. From a Dutch newspaper, January 1939. Roestvrij veiligheidszwaard De Japanse minister van Oorlog, Luitenant-generaal Itagaki, is in gezelschap van enige hoge officieren getuige geweest van proeven met een nieuw roestvrij Jpans zwaard, waarmee geen onbedoelde ongelukken gemaakt kunnen worden. De smid, die het vervaardigd heeft, is tien jaar geleden met zijn arbeid begonnen en heeft er gestaag aan doorgewerkt. Naar vervuilde, is het nieuwe zwaard ook onbreekbaar. Stainless Safety Sword The Japanese Minister of War, Lieutenant General Itagaki, accompanied by several high-ranking officers, has witnessed trials of a new stainless steel Japanese sword, with which no unintended accidents can be caused. The blacksmith who made it started his work ten years ago and has worked steadily on it. To the contrary, the new sword is also unbreakable.
  6. Better pictures of the source, NIMH. Dutch military site.
  7. Maybe interesting to share. Dutch marines in Indonesia, Februari 13, 1948 East-Java. The Javanese man with JP sword is a officier of the TNI. (Source Twitter)
  8. After thirteen years I was able to reset my password. So I'm back . Best wishes John
