    stop using your phone to take photo's, they just don't have good enough resolution. but with thoses kissaki pics, I'm sure you have proved its not made in the last 20 years. that's for sure.

  4. lonely panet
    found a few more odd balls. a very long one, one in what appears to be its original bag and an type 19 Kyu gunto flag sword. sadly most got sold off to fund my next investment, "KIDS" and its only getting worse. 2nd one on its way too no swords ever now

    I'm a loner in this area I think. but found a few more pics of a group I was comparing for overall differences. missing is a very large dress sword with a blade of approx. 32 or 33 inches

    well it sounds like we have got everyone stumped abit. maybe a completed polish to help settle it?? like Brain said, the Japanese did alot of experimenting in the taisho/showa times, I can say this. ( I DONT KNOW) early experimental swords have plenty of odd balls.

    Would or could a togi be fooled ??
  8. lonely panet
    no, looks more like the nakago's you see on the semi- machine made blades on the arsenal grade kyu guntos. is it just my eyes or does the colour of the nakago look odd

    barotrauma to the ear, no membrane damage but a solid week of vomiting and ear pain. would rather have a car inserted up my urethra then suffer that again out of interest are you using ur phone to take photos??
  10. lonely panet
    can we have some close ups of the nakago please. well i think there is no other possible option, but complete the polish and take another look then. I purchased this sword the day I blew my ear drums after a bad dive, and was so sick I didn't evan take the tsuka off . turned out to be a hanten-to that surrendered in Burma 1945 with full documentation

    I'm abit on the fence guys, something is odd about the hada/"Dimaschq". whys does the hada stop above the hamon looking HA. Mr Flynn has pointed it out too, no noi-guchi, no nothing, just a white area

    interesting Bruce, im can only assume 500 yen was a generious sum of money, comparing it to the wages of a yasukuni smith who (according to the book) got between 6 and 2.50 yen per day so thats 83.3 days of work to equal that sum of money, for a top rated yasukuni smith. the nihonto taren kai made approx 10 swords per month around 1935. dosnt that sound abit odd, or am I going mad from lack of sleep

    my mistake. it happens to us all

    im not pushing this sale, and don't want to raise any unwanted comments on the item or the price, just wanted to post it. A lovely looking dirk in a rare custom made navy dirk mounts. blades is so so, but I'm really more interested in the mounts https://www.ebay.com/itm/BIG-WW2-KAI-GUNTO-NAVY-TANTO-DAGGER-15th-C-KOTO-BLADE-Japanese-Samurai-sword/272992346971?hash=item3f8f9ca35b:g:lokAAOSwldRaPDtt

    what happens when a wakizashi has sex with a indo-persion tulwar https://www.ebay.com/itm/HL-44-Very-Rare-design-WAKIZASHI-Great-Name-SHIGEKUNI-399years-ago/322948222853?hash=item4b3136cf85:g:TE4AAOSwSQFaOcjQ
  18. lonely panet
    i can only agree with Thomas. a pleasing blade to look at, as well as the hole piece BUT that tsuka is a real downer on the whole . if it was me I would be looking at a correct restoration
  19. lonely panet
    at a guess, nagoya mino????
  20. lonely panet
    good point. easy to do adds to the selling power good points raised jerry.

    sad to hear, yet another respected member of the nihonto world who has passed to the next. my kind regards to the family and freinds

    nothings unheard of with IJA swords , tho I have never seen or heard of it. marking the fittings to the blade is commonly done with small markings or scratching's. I would love to see some photos just for my records, could you please post them if possible
  23. lonely panet
    the first one is a shumei the second a showato so very obvious. what are you getting at, coz I don't follow what you
  24. lonely panet
    the quality and subject matter are on the whole good, but with the limited time i had, i would have liked to get better or detailed photos. Especially the showato nakago, as normaly the paint is white or red. Green and yellow are not common, or average and might be a misrepresentation of the most common encountered. why do you ask?? did I upset you in any way?
  25. lonely panet
    I was waiting for someone else to strike
