vajo Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Looks like a nagoya arsenal stamp? The mei doesn't look nice. Showa-to? https://www.aoijapan.com/img/sword/2016/16610-2.jpg Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 hello christoph, mei is typical as with many showatos ... so I would say probaby yes. The Hadori is so heavy, it could be only an all drawn Hamon. The Boshi is well preserved but again I see only Hadori all the way. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 I was just looking at that one, in the description it's listed as Manren-to non forged blade. Decent mounts with silk cord sarute. Quote
lonely panet Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 the blade is rubbish, don't know about the mounts but its on par with a Chinese. it looks like a etched hamon rather then hadori. 1 Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Hello Hamfish, thanks for your post. It could also be etched. I have seen both - anyway it is well possible that we are only looking at an "artifical" Hamon ... Quote
vajo Posted January 26, 2018 Author Report Posted January 26, 2018 I see the last year some showa-to on Japan auctions and dealers. I ask myself again are they changed the law? Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 26, 2018 Report Posted January 26, 2018 Maybe not changed the laws but perhaps they don't care as much anymore? I like the mounts with included chain hangar and that's it, way overpriced. Quote
