David Flynn Posted June 12 Report Posted June 12 Osuriage, cut down from a Katana, maybe. Also, it looks like the kissaki has been re-shaped. Quote
Geraint Posted June 13 Report Posted June 13 Dear Steve. Just to add the tsuba is a cast copy,(straight lines all over the seppa dai and blurred mei). The photographs are not detailed enough to tell much about the fittings but it is not uncommon to find swords quickly militarised by the addition of a hanger and a sarute, probably originally a leather combat cover. All the best. Quote
