I am no specialist in nihonto but the nakago definitely does not look like 16th century. but more like Showa era.
For more information, I suggest you post it on nihonto forum. https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/ Last edited by mariusgmioc; 3rd November 2022 at 10:35 PM. Reason: https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/ |

A worthy sword!
This certainly is NOT a WWII era blade. It is signed by a smith named
TOMOTSUGU, a named used by a number of pre-1600 era smiths. It is certainly worth bringing over to the Nippon-to forum. My guess is Bungo, but... Peter |

Hello gents,All the information I quoted came from the nihonto messsge board,I was given a great deal of help from some highly respected members of that forum including one of my old aikido sensei’s who specializes in weapons .
I believe that the info given to me is as accurate as it is possible to be concerning this rather beaten up old battle blade. I Appreciate your posts. I only put it up for interest,not as a fact finding exercise. All the best Kevin |
