  1. Good night, Sorry for the repeated post, but I was told this was the right place to find more about this. Here is the original thread, more photos there. ther's a storry behind it but for here tldr, I'm just looking for confirmation or not as to if this is a real 98, a replica or something in betwin. I forgot to mention this button, we were able to figure it means 岐 for 岐阜 (Gifu Prefecture) where many, if not most arsenal blades were made, though I believe the original pattern for it should have that imperial seal pattern, sooo I dont know... Also a photo of the hilt assembled, believe it or not I couldnt find a full picture of it fully assembled, I'll do it in the morning. Mesurements as asked on the last post, in centimiters and in links for readability; Full lenght Nakago Sori (roughly) Kissaki Nagasa
  2. Oh! well, thank you verry much! I'm going to make a follow up post there than, expanding on this one with the mesurements and full pictures of the blade like you sugeested. See you there.
  3. So, the story of this one os a bit of a doozy. Well, I bought this katana arround 3 years ago right before covid in southern Brazil, and only got the time to research it further a couple months ago. I bought it on a flea market believing the word of the seller that this was a old training sword...so that's a great start. Now I do believe what I bought is in fact one of the most misstreated type 98 in the world, but I'm here to hear a second informed opinion...is that really a 98? The scabbard was almost cpmpletly sanded down to bare metal, though you can still see the finishing in a few spots, the seppa and tsuba are all glued together with a verry stong glue(if any of you got any ideas of how to get them separated withoud damadging it further, do tell)...worst yet this glue dribbled all over the sword in every tiny crack and now its whitening from time...in short, a disaster. You can vaaaguely see what I believe is whats left of the company logo that sold/build the sword and a faint 4 on the seppa I believe, also inside the fuchi its inscribed "X IX", not in the photos because I reasembled it already, but if someone is interested I can take a picture tomorrow. either way, I'd like to know if someone can tell me if this is a real 98, and if it is how can I fix this poor thing up? should I fix it up?
