Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the sword identification?

Our AI model provides highly accurate identification of sword types, especially with clear photos showing blade, guard, and handle details. The system recognizes swords from major cultures and historical periods, from medieval European blades to traditional Japanese katanas.

What information is included in the results?

Results include sword type classification, cultural origin, historical period, blade construction details, material analysis, craftsmanship assessment, authenticity indicators, and maker attribution when applicable.

Can it identify Japanese swords?

Yes! The AI can identify various Japanese swords (katana, wakizashi, tanto, etc.) and analyze characteristics like hamon patterns, nagasa length, and mounting styles. It can also recognize mei (maker signatures) when clearly visible.

Does it work with reproductions?

The AI analyzes construction methods, materials, and aging patterns to help distinguish historical pieces from modern reproductions. It notes indicators of authenticity and manufacturing era.

How many photos should I upload?

While you can analyze one photo at a time, taking multiple angles (full blade, guard detail, handle, markings) and uploading the most comprehensive view will yield the best results. Process additional detail shots separately if needed.

Can it estimate sword value?

The AI provides general value context based on type, period, condition, and craftsmanship quality. For accurate appraisals, consult certified arms and armor appraisers or specialized auction houses.

What about ceremonial or decorative swords?

The AI identifies both functional and ceremonial swords, noting design differences, decorative elements, and intended use (combat, dress, presentation, etc.).
