pab_collector Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 Hello Gentlemen, can I get your thoughts on this Gunto by Yoshiharu? I have never seen assembly numbers(?) stamped on the tang like this. The Seppa are also stamped "35". Regards. Quote
Stephen Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 what numbers? not sure why i should respond as you did not even say thanks for the translation over on the Mark Quote
kaigunair Posted May 11, 2011 Report Posted May 11, 2011 what numbers? not sure why i should respond as you did not even say thanks for the translation over on the Mark I feel you Stephen. A "thanks" or an reply acknowledgement is always a simple and appropriate gesture. I think I've forgotten to do so in the past since I'm on multiple forums. Possibly the same case here? Or maybe just interested in getting info to sell it.... Quote
pab_collector Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 Um, I think there is some confusion guys, this is NOT my sword, nor did I seek info on any other forum. I'm a perspective BUYER. Forgot to post the tang shot with the 35 stamp, that I was SENT. Not a very nice welcome........ Quote
Grey Doffin Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Don't know that I've ever seen the assembly # stamped on the nakago but it doesn't surprise me. Just a way to keep all the parts together. Looks to be a clean gunto, good condition. Most likely a semi traditionally made sword; not Gendaito but not bottom of the barrel either. Grey Quote

Sadly, after I inquired for more pictures, I noticed 2x chips on the cutting edge near the tip. The aforementioned, in addition to the missing Sarute and the price, made me pass. Regards. Quote

Again, a "thanks" is all its takes... Quote
pab_collector Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Posted May 12, 2011 I see the confusion now, I probably should have indicated I was the potential buyer in my initial post, and not the owner/seller. Anyhow, no hurt feelings, and hope to take advantage of the knowledge that is on this forum in my arduous task of learning............and give thanks! Quote
Kiipu Posted November 1, 2022 Report Posted November 1, 2022 @Bruce Pennington Serial number or subassembly number on lower tang. 1 Quote

I have Yoshiharu 27 & 71 dated Autumn '43, so I'd say this is a '43 blade, too. Edit: 26, 27, 35, & 71. In '44 - 103, 200, & 250 Quote
