Justin Grant Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 A guy I know offered me this sword. He said is was a landing force gunto. The photos are his and not all that good, you can't see the sori, hamon, etc. I would like to know your general impression, I assume it is not a repo, and I have not seen tsuka ito wrap like this, but I am not a showa era guy. Not sure what he wants for it, but thought I would first get your impression from what little there is to be seen in the photos. I am assuming machine made, low grade, etc. Thanks Justin https://picasaweb.google.com/1040542998 ... directlink Quote
Mark Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 the sword look fine, not repro. This type of mounts sometimes have decent gendai blades, like Nagamitsu etc. You can't see much of the blade in the pics and i would expect to see a hamon clearer as the condition is not too bad so i would be cautious, but it worth a look, it could be a lot better than a machine made gunto Quote
