One of our SFNS members, Fred San, bought this Naginata after restoration work was done in the late September, 2009. This Naginata originally came from the Texas area in the mid 1980's. Our Sensei purchased the 3 Naginana and 3 Yari in 1985. This piece was one of those. All the Ishizuki, shaft and Saya were intact. Some were not polished. This Naginata's Kenma ( Polish ) was completed in September, 2009. The Mei reading is Sadatsugu and signed in the Tachi style. The Nakago has been shortened, however, it was mounted in the long shaft, including the antique Ishizuki. Finally, this lightly rusty Naginata was polished and has found a good home in Pittsburg, California.
