Hi all, new to the forum but found trying to research these blades. To say im a novice with Japanese swords is an understatement so i can use your help here. These two shin-gunto have what looks like a copper habaki (which im not familiar with) and they are also serial numbered..which ive never seen habaki serial numbered. They also both appear to be missing the retention screws on the Kuchi-gane. Are these junk or something worth picking up? Appreciate the help! Additional pics to follow
