Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ed, is this yours?  If so, could you check the mune for stamps?  Some of his are numbered.

[Eds]

I'll check 

 

[Eds]

This is mine.  I cant find a stamp mentioned.  Is it under the habaki?

 

Machine made?

Beautiful Hamon

This new to me Katana is different from the other Naval swords I have.

 

This one has a wood SAYA and a rayskin Tsuka

I suppose that I can add that I attended the Friday show in Las Vegas.   Lots to see.  Didn't buy anything except a flag.

[Eds]

Lots of interesting things to see

Did you have a look?

[Eds]

Can't get the Habari off

 

If that's where it is I can try harder 

[Eds]

i dont see anything under the habaki on either side or the edge

[Bruce Pennington]

Thanks for checking, Ed.  Don't know why some blades aren't numbered and some are, from the same smith!  It's mostly an Army thing, and when they do show up on Navy, the numbers are usually just above the mei.

[Bruce Pennington]

Blades with the large Seki stamp tend to be well made showato.

John,

for the swords or the girls?

I got this business card from one of the gentlemen at the booth at the Vegas show that had the 86 swords

[Mark]

i think his partner David Brown bought the swords. Robert was sharing tables with David
