FIRST OF ALL I HAVE TO MAKE IT CLEAR, I DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT THESE!
I BOUGHT THIS ON A HUNCH AT A GARAGE SALE A WHILE BACK AND HAD TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION AT THE GARAGE SALE,,,,, I HAD HEARD THAT SAMURAI SWORDS CAN BE VERY PRICEY,,,,,, SO I BOUGHT IT AND I THOUGHT I PAID A PREMIUM ON THE GAMBLE.
AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND A WEBSITE "SBG SWORD - FORUM" AND THOSE FOLKS ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPED OUT A BUNCH,,,,, I HAVE N-E-V-E-R SEEN SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE ON THAT SITE.
I ALSO LEARNED A T-O-N OF NEW WORDS FOR THE "PARTS" OF THE SWORD!!!
SOUNDS LIKE IT "COULD BE" A CONFISCATED GUNTO "BRINGBACK" IF YOU WANT TO READ MY 3 PAGES OF POST ON THIS SWORD, JUST SEARCH POST BY "RLT" ON SBG WEBSITE.
I WAS TOLD I "NEEDED TO DO THIS",,,,, I H-A-D TO REMOVE THE WRAPPING TO GET THE HANDLE OFF AS SOMEONE USED A SCREW AND NUT TO HOLD IT ON, THEN I HAD TO GET A DREMEL TO CUT OFF THE NUT.
THIS IS BEING SOLD ALL APART AND YOU WILL HAVE TO REASSEMBLE IT.
FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH THIS IS VERY SHARP, I HELD IT IN THE SUN AND THERE IS NO "FLAT" SPOTS ON THE BLADE EDGE. ALSO THE ANGLE OF THE SHARPENED PORTION OF THE BLADE IS V-E-R-Y UNIFORM ON BOTH EDGES, THE ANGLE IS THE SAME FOR THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE BLADE.
THE TOTAL OF THE BLADE LENGTH WITHOUT THE HANDLE IS ABOUT 27 1/2"
THE SHARPENED PORTION OF THE BLADE IS ABOUT 22 1/2"
THE TOTAL LENGTH WITH THE HANDLE IS ABOUT 30 3/4"
FLAT RATE SHIPPING TO LOWER 48 ONLY
