Photios Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Hello, gentlemen, I have here a mystery. Is this Japanese or is it a message from aliens ? "Signature" is located on a poor sword which is at mounting composed of various components of various types of military koshirae. Any ideas? Petr Quote
Kai-Gunto Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Lets see the rest of the sword. The mei look very sloppy/crappy. Quote
Photios Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Posted February 12, 2013 The blade is inferior, I feel that it is the work of a rural blacksmith maybe ... However, I am interested in the inscription - it is really strange. Petr Quote
leo Posted February 12, 2013 Report Posted February 12, 2013 Signature is meaningless, blade and saya are non-Japanese scrap. Only the tsuka is original gunto. There is little use to ask questions about this item. Better study the many links on this page(Fake Swords, Kanji Pages) and compare! Best, Quote

Photios Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Posted February 12, 2013 My concern was only to find out whether the inscription may have some content, or is it only "child scribbles." By sword alone I did not want to bother anyone on this forum - I know it's worthless. Regarding koshirae, I would disagree. All components are old and Japanese. But it does not matter - my question concerned only the inscription ... Anyway, thank you for your feedback. Petr Quote
