Amazing! Makes you wonder how many are still out there, such as the Honjo Masamune reportedly brought back to America.

Thanks for sharing!

In the late 1980's, a friend of mine tracked down a veteran who had signed for three National Treasure blades. He was able to purchase two of them a first generation Tadayoshi and an unsigned Kamakura era blade that was a treasure of the Date family. The man also had a Ko-Bizen tachi, which his son had broken while playing with it and he had retained about three inches of the tip. Some our still hidden and some are likely destroyed. There are still a number of missing Kokuho and Juyo Bijitsu out there.
