Japanese type 32 (early production)
lonely panet replied to KB1107's topic in Military Swords of Japan
The very fact that a KO scabbard is matched to a otsu numerically imho is concering. the sword isnt dated so imho forget placing any value in the number. keep searching for a matched and dated sword in far better example, there are examples numbered under 10,000 out there. the over riding serial numbers cause confusion. so look for dated example, if your lucky you can find examples dated to the month -

no paperwork imho is a issue. oral histoies are affected just like the game chinese whispers

althought it shows clear hada, small sunagushi.... its still a showato "oilie" the dark peaks give it away regardless of the skill of the togi.. A well polished, well made showato but imho not worth the 350k yen

Postage it a REAL ISSUE, i had a rare sake cup in Japan. The cost to ship/post was so high i literally walked away and left the money to the seller. The world has gone made -
tassel and knots are not pricey compared to the sword you buy. company grade stuff is normally under 150 for neat stuff. just ask for some and members here will happily point you in right dirrection
