Unusual Stamp


Recommended Posts

Hi Bruce,

 

I've not seen that before. Certainly looks deliberately struck as opposed to some of the rust pits and indentations that get mistaken for stamps. I had a look through the books that show a variety of military stamps and couldn't find anything similar.

Forged on the grounds of Xavier's School for Gifted Children for one of the X-Men ?

 

Seriously, you should post this under the translation section.  More people are likely to see it and perhaps they can provide some information.

I don't know what it is but if this was a nihonto at the origin, it has been very badly tampered with. The nakago is awful, have alook at the tsuba ana.... Some remaining yasurime makes me think of a showato which has been machi okuri and the habaki moved up. But without anymore pictures no one can say what it is: fake or real. Obviously, the guy who posted it did not know what pictures to attach..

odd ball is a term that is miss-leading, IMHO is worth avoiding due it being of almost rubbish quality.
