nihonto1001 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Hi: I purchased this sword because of its premium Shin Gunto fittings. The blade is very large for a WWII sword. I think it might be Gendaito, but could not find any info on it. This leads me to believe that my translation may be wrong. I have it as Yasu-Tetsu. I am at a loss for which province. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time. Quote
mdiddy Posted February 18, 2013 Report Posted February 18, 2013 Mei: Bishu ju Masayasu Kitau Kore Mano Masayasu - Slough pg. 108. I think he made mostly gendaito. I had one sometime back that showed a prominent, yet coarse, itame/masame hada and an active suguha. Quote
nihonto1001 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Posted February 19, 2013 Thank you Matt. That makes researching it much more effective.ha Quote
mdiddy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 Joe, Here are some pics of the Masayasu that I had as an example. I would be curious to see Jon's too. Matt Quote
cabowen Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 It is a traditionally made blade (gendai-to) but rather crudely forged. Quote
mdiddy Posted February 20, 2013 Report Posted February 20, 2013 It is a traditionally made blade (gendai-to) but rather crudely forged Art or artifact? I remember it being fairly hadatachi. Quote
nihonto1001 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Posted February 20, 2013 As requested, here are a couple pics... It is the condition of the koshirae that impresses me about this rig. Quote
