Butch Posted May 28, 2022 Author Report Posted May 28, 2022 Chris thanks for your message is it possible to tell the year of manufacturer by the serial numbers ? Gareth Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted May 28, 2022 Report Posted May 28, 2022 @Stegel or @Shamsy can narrow the year down, but my guess (which is always close, but never right!) is about 1941. Completely legit, with the "Gifu" contractor stamp (which is possibly the Seki Shoten Co). Quote
Butch Posted May 28, 2022 Author Report Posted May 28, 2022 Thanks Bruce what would we do without you !!!! So glad it’s a real one … Gareth Quote

Shamsy Posted May 28, 2022 Report Posted May 28, 2022 I keep getting asked for dates. I've roughly explained to Trystan how it's done, very simple. I planned to make a post so people can look it up themselves, but just haven't gotten to it. Maybe tomorrow... Absolutely gorgeous Gifu sword too! 1 Quote
