Gerry Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 This is a pretty odd listing for a heisei period shinsakuto that's mounted in what seems to be genuine period WW2 Type 98 shin gunto mounts. https://www.jauce.com/auction/t1219488627 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Odd as it may seem a similar sword came up a year or two ago, good quality early mounts with a 1990's blade made to fit it. No Shirasaya either. 1 Quote
Baka Gaijin Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 Perhaps commissioned by one of the chaps in pale blue fatigues who turn up on a Sunday Morning at Yasukuni Jinja and march up and down a bit, before getting into the big Black Vans bedecked with loud speakers and Flags? Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 I don't follow the modern smiths, but maybe it's a marketing effort? Might not be getting much business, so put the blade out there to catch the eye of the WWII crowd? Quote
