I have collected swords since I was 12 and have seen many hand made blades but quite a few more machine made gunto than anything else personally. I know that many machine made blades are signed. I never thought about this until the other day. I was selling one of my swords, a gunto machine made with a signature. And the gentleman who I was going to sell it to asked me about the signature, when I told him it was signed he swore up and down that only hand made blades are signed. This is not true, is it? I always thougth that both hand made and machine could be signed. If someone could help me out though, the man got me thinking. Why would they have signed machine made blades?
any light on this subject would be greatly appreciated.
