Lareon Posted June 24, 2025 Report Posted June 24, 2025 Picked up a sword for fairly cheap with a signed Tsuba and Nakago. Was listed as a navy sword but isn't. weirdly has a military menuki but an older tsuba and unsure on the mounts, laquered ray skin saya. it's signed Teruhide and is an Ishido Teruhide blade, the sword itself is very appealing and in good polish, very good quality Gendaito which was surprising for the price. https://www.japaneseswordindex.com/teruhide.htm Unusual mounts, has two Ura-Manji (swastika) on the Fuchi, originally before i picked up the sword and looked at the Mei i was trying to work out why it would have an Ura-Manji. Now knowing who the smith is and the era, I'm more intrigued. The Nakago has two Mekugi-Ana so has been remounted in it's short life. 2 Quote
