has anyone seen something like this before? Maybe i have just missed it, but it seems unusual. I came by a katana signed Tsuda Sukehiro, looked obviously gimei but i was surprised to see it had a Showa stamp. Is this unique or have i just been missing them before? I have seen plenty of Showa era swords with big name signatures but never one with a stamp of any kind

i don't recommend removing the handle of an NCO sword. there is nothing on the nakago that will help and too much chance of damaging the sword. the handle looks like it is brass. if so the only NCO swords i know with brass handles are post war copies

thanks Ray and Steve. good to know. i appreciate it mark
-
i appreciate you taking a look. thanks!

Ray thanks! does it have any meaning? maybe the name of the owner or similar? seems a bit unusual. appreciate it mark
-
thanks in advance. i was going to skip asking as the habaki is not that well made so i figure maybe it is nothing, but it would be nice to know appreciate the look and any help mark

the NTHK had/has a monthly journal or magazine. guess check June 2011, or next issu/vol 611 (i forget if they were numbered) page 27 you will have to find someone with one
