Although there is no Seki or Showa inspector’s stamp, I think this is a pre 1938 made blade, a Showa to of medium quality with an oil tempered bar stock blade. It has typical Seki Mino type forging, a gunome midare hamon with nioi crystal ha buchi (edge line). It has a nakaishimei signature written by a kanji writer employed in Seki arsenal. See John Slough’s book on swordsmiths page 197 to see an oshigata of his work. ‘E-Saka (Family name) Yoshi Kuni (Art Name) Saku (Made This)’. In old original polish, one finger rust and some scratching & stains otherwise good for its age. Saya / gunto metal parade with green paint with leather campaign cover, some wear & small damage OK for its age. Tsuba gunto pattern cast or die stamp brass, some gilt left & good quality, with several matching seppa (washers) each side. Tsuka (hilt) gunto pattern, good quality and condition pre war standard mounts in original finish, working locking catch & best quality monkey hand sarute (knot loop). Fish skin wrap OK, been rebound post war with black ito (linen) tape. Otherwise untouched & original example of Japanese sword from 2nd war. N.B. Instead of signing their swords a lot of swordsmiths gave them to a man employed just to sign sword tangs (nakaishimei)”. In his illustrations Bill translates the tang signature. He measures the cutting edge as 63.5 cms, total length 84.5 cms and describes other blade and tang measurements & characteristics which can be seen in image 2. The price includes UK delivery.
