Well Everything is for sale for the right price, I posted the other day and for the offers I've recieved it's not worth selling. Not gonna give it away and the likelihood someone gives me 1000 for it is unlikely. I was planning on taking the ad down in the next few days and shipping it. Two things can be true

Just an update, I'm sending the ito out to a gentleman in north florida to be rewrapped and will be picking it up at the Convention. Do I need to sign up in advance for the convention or is it a show up and buy your ticket?

This is so cool! Thank you all

You know upon reading into how many fakes there are out there I'm almost relieved this sword isn't trying to be something it's not. It's nice knowing it's completely legit. I would love to know the young man who carried it into battle

I almost want to edit worthless out of my post but then everyone's responses won't make sense. When you don't know anything about swords your first thought is it'd be worth a few thousand. It's really cool to own, just figuring out what I should do with it. So does it appear to authentic to everyone?

Yeah I live 45minutes from orlando, the actual blade seems to be in good condition. What I thought was really cool was the bits of paper with kanji stuffed in the handle. I know it has some worth just not as much as I previously thought. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to something a bit better. Thank you for the information Conway. BTW was kanemune a sword factory?

Thank you, my grandfather passed and my dad let me have it. He did not fight in ww2 so must have aquired it later in life. Apparently it's a showata arsenal blade and basically worthless. I'll have the handle rewrapped and hang in the wall. Any information on it would be appreciated

Hello, can anyone translate this and give me any information as to whether it's a legitimate signature please.
