If I need more pics of anything let me know nagasa is 25 5/8",, sori 3/8" allmost straight. Post or PM thoughts thanks Vern Quote
Vern Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Posted February 25, 2010 I guess I have figured out how to post pics here just wet. Click on the link to see the pics http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/22992294 Quote
drbvac Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 I am not sure which sword you mean? The early gunto blade in the sabre mounts has a mon of the backstrap and the nakago/hilt is folded, probably more to preserve the signature than making it fit the tsuka Hilt. You have three german swords, a SAS dress dagger, a tulwar , 3 or 4 knights of Columbus or other fraternal swords etc. quite a mixture? And the pics are fine but you probably should just post of one blade. Quote
Vern Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Posted February 25, 2010 I fixed the album. Just the one Im looking for info on is their now. Thanks vern Quote
Jacques Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Hi, Signed Hankei but not made by Hankei. Quote
Dakota Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Anyway you could take pictures closer to the blade? My eyes don't work too well. Quote
Dakota Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 looks like an officer's military sword. Quote
Dakota Posted February 25, 2010 Report Posted February 25, 2010 Oh, drbvac already said that. My handle on terminology not to good. Quote
Vern Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Posted February 28, 2010 If I were to take this to Chicago in May, Can it be put in the hands of exprts? Should be worth finding out for sure one way or the other. Thanks to those that have positive in put. Vern Quote
Mark Posted February 28, 2010 Report Posted February 28, 2010 Some of the list members will be in Chicago. I would be happy to look at it in hand and i am sure other members would offer to do the same Quote
