  3. Can anyone help with this Mei?
  4. Hello! Can anyone translate the writing on this saya? It came back with a soldier from the war
  5. Hello everyone. I’m new to collecting and don’t know much about this style of sword. The seller calls it a “police sword” because it is a shorter blade. I’m guessing pre-WW2. But is it possible the blade is traditionally made from a Wakizashi? Or is the blade probably machine made with this style of sword? Thanks in all advance!
  6. I’m new to Japanese swords. Can anyone tell me about this sword I’ve got? It’s got a cool hand guard. Looks like a demon on it. What’s it worth?
  7. Here is the measurement. It looks like it’s about 26 1/4 inches from the tip to the notch in the blade under the collar
  8. Wow! So there is a chance that the Japanese officer wrote his name on the sword? the sword was made in the 16th century?? Like the 1500’s??
  9. I think I see a faint line along the edge of the blade. It’s not straight. It’s curvy. Any information about the sword would be appreciated!
  10. Here are some more photos I’d the sword. I was able to get the handle off. I don’t see a signature. But I do see some writing on the little plates by the handguard.
  11. Thank you guys! Will get better pics for you tonight!!
