Comments on value?

Dunno where he is sucking that date from.
It is a wartime made arsenal sword, with the Sho(wa) stamp. Bit of a mix with non military fittings. It's probably at it's market value or just a little bit under. No steal though. His BIN is insane.

I have seen quite a variety of mixed fittings when the blade came from a family donation, then refitted for the army. But this isn't a family blade. The Showa stamp says it was made for the army. The felt spacer and civil fuchi might have been added post-war. Can't picture an active duty Japanese officer switching out those items for personalization purposes.
