Up for sale is an ultra rare Southern Manchurian Railway WW2 TACHI. These were usually made for special occasions and there are only a few left in existence. The hangers (Ashikanamono) bear the the company mark of the Manchurian Railway. The fittings have matching serial numbers (#134). The clean blade is signed: Koa Isshin Mantetsu Saku Kore. Dated: Showa Kanoto Mi Haru. (1941). I’ll be listing this on eBay in a few days, if there is no interest here. It will be listed under the Ebay name bguardj. Price is $8500.00

Hi Edwin,

 

Nice sword. I have the same question as Chris, as that is a rather unique ito color for that time period.

 

Also, I am unable to view the photos (yes, I entered the password and enabled cookies). The screen never loads any pics and is just static.

 

If you can please PM me or post with more info/details, I would appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

Eric

With a regular mantetsu to going for nearly $10K in Japan, I think this was a very good price. No doubt the buyer could sell in Japan for a lot more...Heck, I was tempted-if I didn't have a few too many other irons in the fire....
