Swords Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 Hi I saw this and because it’s signed Fujiwara Kunimichi It’s by a well known smith and Is it worth pursuing I believe it’s a short sword ? I’m trying to get dimensions Hard to know condition with just pictures My concerns are is it in fact that signature ? The hard ware seems good with #11 My worries are it’s being sold in Japan and if there’s issues it may be difficult to return Quote
Ron M Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 If it’s in Japan, why doesn’t it have papers? Can it get papers while it’s there if you get it?? These are the questions to ask before a purchase of a sword that’s still in Japan. 2 Quote
Swords Posted September 1, 2023 Author Report Posted September 1, 2023 Exactly what papers should I ask for ? Its a short sword blade length is 56.8cm (22.36inches) Quote
Swords Posted September 1, 2023 Author Report Posted September 1, 2023 Just found out there’s a hole in the blade I guess that blows that And not papered Quote

francois2605 Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 BTW it looks more like a Type 94 than 98 to me Quote
David Flynn Posted September 1, 2023 Report Posted September 1, 2023 Papers should be, NTHK Kanteisho, or above and NBTHK Hozon, or above. Quote
