brodyeh1 Posted June 14 Report Posted June 14 Hi I'm currently trying to identify this sword and was wondering if anyone can help? Quote
Scogg Posted June 15 Report Posted June 15 Hi Brody, welcome to the forum. It’s hard to say much from the photos provided. What we can tell you is that the fittings are Type 98 shingunto fittings with a leather combat cover on the scabbard. The blade inside could be wartime or older, but we cannot tell unless the tang is shown (preferably on a dark non reflective background, oriented so the blade tip is north and tang is south.) Skip ahead to minute mark 6:40 for instructions on removing a blade from its fittings. Best to take it slow and be very careful. Do not do anything to remove rust or alter the patina on the tang. It could severely hurt the value. Best of luck and cool sword. -Sam 2 Quote
