Hi
I stumbled across these two items in a second hand/ rummage shop
I know nothing about Japanese pole arms but recognised them as what they were
Price is reasonable can anyone give a thumbs up or down
On the naginata the blade was loose and there was writing on the tang
They smell and feel right and the shaft have good platination
Edge felt good and sharp on both
Thanks for any information
Sorry about terrible pictures
Regards
Ken

Ken, you really need to photograph the whole blades of both weapons and at least the fittings of the mounts, the yari is a jumonji yari.
