Kaigunto230 Posted July 25 Report Posted July 25 Hello all! Could I please get some help with a translation on this kaigunto? Quote
Conway S Posted July 25 Report Posted July 25 Michael, It’s signed Tenshozan Tanrenjo saku and dated a lucky day in February 1942. Lots of information on this forge in Mal Cox’s naval sword articles in the download section. 1 Quote

I know it’s a bit gone but would you be able to make any of this tag on the saya out? Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted July 26 Report Posted July 26 Yes, these are stainless steel swords. On the whole they are well finished pieces, though obviously not Nihonto. Fujiwara Kanenaga was involved in forging works at the Tenshozan workshop, he was a pioneer in using anti-rust steel for use in swords. 4 Quote
