    You are right, those stamps are so crisply stamped. they did a very good job stamping them! this has been a very informative thread!

    Hi George https://japanesewarriors.co.uk/shop.php?code=50166, Mark has a good collection of gunto bits and pieces, seppa etc. I've got a few things from him before. ping him over the measurements and i'm sure he will help if he has something

    its kind of the inverse colour of what you're looking for but just in case

    @Lewis B this was my thought too, the prices here are a magnitude higher than elsewhere due to difficulties bringing them into the UK.

    It does say kanemichi yes, his mei is all over the place though @IJASWORDS may be able to confirm

    I didin't sell no, i was looking at it too.

    Tsuba and Serial number if that helps, also the assymetrical wrap on the tsuka for one of the var 2

    ah yes i see, i have both types of tsuba on mine too and my copper is a third type. all with raised stamen.

    Nothing in Dawson and nothing in F&G, closest i've seen is the picture in this thread of an open ended leather tassel. the strap is the same 3/8 inch size though which is something but i assumed it was from something else and put together.

    @Scogg Sam, is there anything you are missing that we can help provide photos of?
  11. Lareon
    Hi Kristie, it has some value, Sam is correct on the valuation, the chain hanger i can see attached to it also has some value if its original, they are quite collectible

    here are a few of them together

    a little beaten up but a police sword tassel too while I'm rummaging through the swords
  14. Lareon
    The Tsuka is a touch larger than usual actually ( an awful lot of seppa on that sword, 8 and some are the chunky ones.

    a Tassel on one of my Gunto, never seen one like it but it is definitely aged. doesn;t match my others so i assumed its just a replacement added on by someone. anyone got an idea on this one?

    thanks bruce, i knew you'd have a chart for this
  17. Lareon
    do you have pictures of the blade itself? looks like there is no machi
  18. Lareon
    there is an extremely faint seki stamp, unless thats just a pattern in the yasurime
  19. Lareon
    although looking closer i do spot something
  20. Lareon
    @Bruce Pennington interesting but from memory wasnt 1943 the year that nagoya stamp transitioned to the seki stamp? this blade also august 1943 has the seki stamp where as Terrance's sword has the nagoya stamp. you would know better but does this perhaps indicate the month of transition? edit: ignore this, i can see a seki stamp now

    Thanks very much, was struggling to read this a lot for some reason

    2 of mine are in september but this one didn't quite make it in time

    It's nearly been 5 years since i started this thread but i have the latest update. currently just received images from Japan of the polished sword ready to go to shinsa. Thought i'd share a few snippets with you guys here. one of the biggest concerns we had was the lack of visible boshi in its poor state. we can see now that boshi is intact, shallow but intact
  25. Lareon
    oh how did i not see the roman numerals. and no it's not in gunto mounts, they're custom
