Very kind words on here, thanks to everyone who has commented and shared there amazing swords and excellent information. What a great community.

Thanks Chris, I looked at it again last night and it is better than alot of other Guntos I have been seeeing. So I see what you mean

Thanks Stephen for having me join the group and your help.

John, thank you for the kind welcome and the pictures of your awesome sword! That sounds like an amazing group of sword smiths! I am excited to be on here with others who share the same love I do.

Thank, I have not seen that! Very cool!

Mine is the top one, signed as Taira Sadashige. I did not know his son was a Smith too

I appreciate that! The blade looks better in pictured admittedly, but I dont see any major flaws. Just some scuffs and scratches. I have read and heard that Imai Sadashige was an excellent smith, unfortunately I can't find a whole lot of info about him.

A few more pics

Hello, I just purchased my first sword after looking for a nice WW2 officer sword. The polish looks alittle rough but still a nice sword. I may have it repolished to make it nice, just wanted to say hi and see what everyone's thoughts were.
