OP OP H Holt0222 Hero Member Sep 24, 2015 524 415 Washington Primary Interest: All Treasure Hunting Aug 29, 2019 Thread starter #3 Here is what my friend thinks he has so far. I thunk it is Tanto. Pretty robust. Hamon is visible. Seems complete. There are two signatures. One on the small knife also. They believe it is 16th - 17th century. The Tanto does not have any wood or leather. The scabbard is Is laquered wood which appears ebonized. It is an authentic sword @450 yrs old.
