Thanks Trystan!

Thanks B!

Roger that Bruce, thanks!  Saw a sarute on eBay for $70 - ouch!

Thanks Dan!  Super excited about it.  Trying to determine if I should work to restore it or not..dont want to decrease value.  Needs a Sarute at the least

Sage advice Sham!

I missed this one on an auction today.  Maybe ill get lucky and the winner will back out.  Any thoughts on these signatures?

Thanks Trystan!  

Another collector who reached out to me from my linkedin profile wanted me to get a picture of the tang for a signature.  I didnt think machine made blades had signatures?

Thanks Bruce!  I have been through Ohmura but hadnt seen Stus page

What did you identify yours as?  Likely the same as mine, given their manufacture timeline

Do you prefer Choji oil?

Hello!

Going through my small war collectibles stash during break and started looking deeper into this one.  What im reading is potentially a Type 95 Shin Gunto with copper Tsuba.

I welcome the boards thoughts on if I am off or not.  Just starting my journey with this piece, even though it has been in storage for 20 years.

Thanks!
