Neels Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 Need Help with Origin value and maybe interest in this Quote
ROKUJURO Posted April 9 Report Posted April 9 Neels, not much can be seen on these photos. It looks like a Japanese military sword. We have a special section for MILITARY swords where the experts will see it. The MEI (= signature) is chiseled in a hand-writing style and reading it is for our experts. The photo of it is slightly out of focus; a better one (post it in the TRANSLATION section) would make reading much easier. Detailed photos should be taken on a dark, non-reflecting background, presented as cut-outs. NAKAGO (= tang) photos always blade-tip vertically upwards, so the signature can be read. The value is determined by the prices on the market, so you will have to look there. Depending on the type of blade (machine-made up to traditionally made), the value can vary a lot! All this may sound difficult for you, but in case you expect a competent comment, the images have to be adequate. 1 Quote
