Can't believe it. i finally got one. Its a decent sunto period sword i believe. Two minor nicks on the blade a few marks, but its over all a nice looking sword. The tang has writeing on it which i believe is the maker of the sword. Wondering if any one has info on this maker. Very psyched on this sword. Direct Veteran purchase.
