Japanese Characters on Sword -
08-12-2010, 04:27 PM
Hi all,
Today on an antique market I bought a sword, the typical Japanese kind  and there are some characters on it. I do not read/write/speak the language, so I took some pictures of these characters and I wonder if some of you can tell me what it reads and means..?The number I can read: 30453     Thanks very much, Jeroen Netherlands

The sword that this was made for a tourist.
Than say a sword; an iron bar. This sword is sold in products made in China now. This souvenir is sold for around 50 euro in China, but can buy it for 10 euro if lower the price. Cryptanalysis is necessary for you. set a goal：English at the same level as Johan Cruyff

That's very exciting. Just costed me 65 euro, just a little over 7000 Yen. Thanks for translating.
Do you by any chance know someone who knows more about these swords? That can maybe tell more about the history/background of it? Thanks again, Jeroen

If you can separate the handle from the blade, it's probably worth about ten US dollars and is not a collector's item at all.
There appears to be a serial number on it, which indicates it's not a collector's item.
