  1. All numbers under 10,000 Are considered to be the first or 2nd year production. Tho desirable to some. If mismatched not valuable
  2. trying to solve this one for a person with a clapped out seki-to but either the bad pic or the bad mei has me annoyed. could i please ask for help? seki ju ? ko or O yoshi ? saku big thanks for any help. regards H

  7. Yes, sorry for being lazy with the correct terminology.
  8. no no im not a togi, but iv had some experience's with getting opinions from respected togi on swords with far less damage then the above item. you dont see the lack of pitting because RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE the Ha has almost completey vanished from aggressive state of corrosion. so the shape may be lost in the hunt for stable metal. not be negative
  9. here comes the island title again. its just plain modern junk
  10. Im not a togi, but i would confidently say its beyond help
  11. Hi David, Could you inform the masses of the dollar amount to achieve a shinsa. So peaple can understand how big a task it is
  12. Carried yes, and used yes. the type 19 kyu dress swords continued to see day carry as a lighter alternative. but i dont know but would surely think sales would have finalised at the time of change or being very limited, but only guessing
  13. some rare knots in that bunch, a steal at that price too. you really should remove and photograph them to help sales. k15 is a rare item
  14. end of saya, backstrap or end of the tsuka tend to be the areas on emblems
  15. could be a number of models. need more pics. could be early navy shore patrol, civil admin, police, fire army etc
  16. IMHO is want made in Japan or by a Japanese person, so there for dosnt deserve the title. its a sword, no more Japanese then my left testicle. "speculation?" well we are allowed that but is it healthy ???? if you label this as island made, which island?? as thats its national dentity. but i wouldnt give much time
