Ruggliff Posted September 21, 2019 Report Posted September 21, 2019 My father recently bought this sword thinking it was a gunto but its vastly different from our other swords. Would like to know anything we can about it i can provide more pictures if needed but due to poor storage its fairly hard to get pictures with detail. Thank you Doug K Quote
Dave R Posted September 21, 2019 Report Posted September 21, 2019 It looks like a traditional Samurai era sword taken to war, World War 2 in fact. Not exactly common, but far from unknown. Quote
Ruggliff Posted September 21, 2019 Author Report Posted September 21, 2019 We figured it was cut down for the war, what really got his attention was the field repair done to the scabbard with a piece of boot leather, and once he got it home he realized it wasn't machine made and that's about as far as we got. Honestly as long as its not a fake he's doing good paid about half the going rate for a shin gunto. Quote
