<p>[QUOTE="D.Risk, post: 4506663, member: 23688"]So, I am currently trying to find a likely age bracket for the production of my Japanese Shin-Gunto Sword. Based off the sheath, handle and hand guard (Tsuba I think its called) I assume it is from late ww2. To get a more accurate estimate, I decided to take the sword to pieces to see if there are any serial numbers, arsenal stamps or a name on the tang as there are none anywhere else. After a bit of struggling to take the sword to bits due to the whole thing being rusted together I found that the only thing on the tang is either a 10 or a sideways IO, and I cannot find anything on this online so any help is appreciated. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]395033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395035[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]395037[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
