Al Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 I have a sword and am trying to find as much info as possible about it. It from someone in the 5th marine div after the war. Quote
sencho Posted January 24, 2007 Report Posted January 24, 2007 Hi Al, Welcome to the board... Looks nice so far..... the koshirae (fittings and furniture) anyway Any pictures of the blade itself? Especially the Kissaki (the tip) and the Nakano (the tang of the sword) and the Hamon (the cloudy temper line on the cutting edge of the blade)? Cheers! Quote
sencho Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 Hi Al... here are you pictures resized... Cheers Quote
Stephen Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 i hope something like that comes into the gun show i have this weekend....IMHO its a Shinto Wakazashi with very nice fittings a real find. Quote
sencho Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 I agree with Stephen, it looks really nice Al... I am waiting for the other 'spurts to have their say too... By the way... What is the length of the blade? And do you have a full picture of the Tsuba? Cheers Quote
