Wangzi Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Dear everyone, Greetings. I Found this 94 military sword at an auction. I am interested to purchase it. Could someone please do me a favor, to identify if this sword is right. The nakago was partially cut(suriage). Can somebody identify the inscription from it and tell the maker? I will be truly grateful for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANGBANGSAN Posted April 18 Report Share Posted April 18 It's a type 94 with an eggshell finish. While it may not be as desirable as the glossy finished ones to some people, it's still nice and original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
