Information on this Nakago

[Carps357]

Can anyone tell me anything about this Nakago, where is was made and the age possibly?

[Nicolas Maestre]

My non expert eyes tell me that it's very recent, as there is some very active rust here, and even no rust at all... I don't see yasurime, and by the shape of it I think it could be non-Japanese.

 

But again, no expert, I could be totally wrong 😁

Unfortunately, I think you're right Nicolas.

Nicolas has it right, a recent Chinese copy. The rather unrefined brass Habaki is another giveaway.

I would say copper not brass. But overall very unconvincing from what I can see.
