16k Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 What sort of comments are you expecting? I think it’s real. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 Captured example from indonesia or other pacific island nation and handle replaced. I believe it's real as well. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 With the poor pictures provided, I would not venture a guess. Could as well be a locally (south-eastern Asia) made blade. Quote
vajo Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 I think its a real sword with a junk ww2 koshirae. The price is stupid high. The Koshirae is worthless and without seeing the hole blade i would not spent more than $50 to see what it is. Quote
Stephen Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 Navy vet knot tying on tsuka..called coxcombing...otherwise looks real. https://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=1477.0 1 Quote
Brian Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 What Stephen said. This knotwork was done by sailors. Wouldn't be surprised if the sword is ok. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted June 19, 2019 Report Posted June 19, 2019 Unless a lost treasure sword it is firmly in the curio school of Japanese military swords. The chain hangar is probably the most valuable thing in the package. 2 Quote
