Japanese Katana Japanese sword question: Is there a way to grade and see the authenticity of a Katana?
I've had a couple of years ago I tried to give him proper care but it still has some rust. Is there a way to see whether it is authentic for a katana? Edit: A friend there told me, I do not know where he has it. It has a few tricks on the blade, and some kanji (I think) near the handle.
Malcolm has a good answer, but let me that to expand. A large part of the swords, the most famous of the sword is not signed. Often, the blacksmith is a blade would be a dozen, that was superior to and then be signed by only the best work. It is best, to turn a sword collector or collector. When the sword is signed, you could send them rubbing tang, or the signature on the photo. Many of the swords I've seen that are engraved on the blade itself only copies. Here are some contacts.
