    "Beautiful Katana with bright blade with 26" cutting edge. The blade is bright with an active hamon. The one hole tang is signed. The Katana has shin gunto mounts and saya. The tsuka has ray skin grip and silk wrap. CONDITION: The Katana is very clean throughout and only shows minor wear. A very well preserved example. Excellent" I wrote to them. 200$ bp isn't worthy bad reputation.

    NCO 95 same habaki. I probably saw it in fake Nco's so I will post it here. Elaborate work. . https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/231808638_japanese-wwii-nco-shin-gunto-sword-with-scabbard-and-leather-hanger-hallandale-beach-fl

    It's all about preservation. You would rather keep nanbokucho blade with hagire or kirikomi or mint? I don't see more value in visible flaws. Blade with atribution is enough. Monkeys were killing other monkeys with sticks or stones. Blade is complex enough to believe it is capable of killing :D especially made in days when killing with a sword was a fashion. Bad smiths just went extinct. On the margin - usage of blades as weapons made some confusion in United Kingdom lately.

    Could this be repaired just by usage of superglue? Metal to metal [cyanoacrylate glue]

    You buying weapon or piece of art? If You want a weapon go for ww2 blades with fat-rust and chips. I don't need additional proof that blade could kill someone. Even better if blade is mint- no possible structural microcracks. Saidan-mei? Oh so cool blade can cut through dead body.

    How deep is this tsuka?

    At Aoi we had announcement that prices goes up. Every blade is different. But no wonder that prices goes up as yen is in deep hole and it only started. Dollar isn’t in great spot itself… Yen to dollar chart:

    Below 120 cm should be doable and doable easy. Just check chargeable weight calculator as it is longer item and will take more more space then actual weight. UPS last September sending mounted gunto from states to europe - 93$. Please go SFL Worldwide for quote, 1/4 of official fee. Fuel surcharge in times of war - it will suck You dry. UPS is scam these days. Ask for quote-it’s free! https://www.sflworldwide.com/
