Nihonto Club

Hello Member, I'm a new member making first posting for your consideration and comments. The unverified information I have collected and combined for this purchase is as follows: this Gendaito is a WW2 unknown vet bring home with no tag or info lost in time. The Nagasa is 66cm, motokasane is 7mm, the motohaba is 3cm. the Fuchi wears a Kokura and a SayaShoten marks.Tang along with mei & date(need help as to if it is Oct. or Nov. 1943). It has Star mark, #607 and Matsu (pine). The undamaged dual latch Rinji bears numerous small chips in the lacquer.I believe these are the results of combat conditions in the rough areas it would have served in the Pacific Campaign. Not sure if blade tip was dinged. Due to this being crafted by someone of Akihisa Yamagati skills, I believe this must have been commissioned for a fairly high ranked officer who was going off to war. If anyone can clarify the month in the kanji I would greatly appreciate it. From what I have been reading this quality blade and combat mount combination must have been highly valued by this unknown IJA officer. AS to where it served remains a guess at present, still trying to find info on the vet.I appreciate your time viewing and await your remarks. Hopefully photos from seller will show details for you. Enjoy as I am. Respectfully, John 42768, John Sheehy
