  1. Shinshin-to smiths are among the category with the most numerous gimei, on the contrary gendai-to smiths seem to be the category with the less gimei.
  2. Finally I found one, on Yahoo Japan. Maybe the brass has been a bit too much cleaned. According to seller description, it is cucumber leaf(?!).
  3. Daniel, Your best choice may be to contact directly Chris BOWEN.
  4. Takeo SEKI : togishi1@gmail.com Takeo SEKI may not want to polish it since it is not traditionally forged. Then I would ask Woody Hall in Nevada or Benson in Hawai.
  5. Nice find Bruce. I wish I could find a tsuba like this one.
  6. Shawn, Woody told me more or less the same regarding my Mantetsuto, it was 2 years ago. He won't polish standard showa-to but may do exception for well finished ones. I reach him on Messenger but can ask him more details to contact him if you need.
  7. Listed as Showa smith but as RJT though. Must have entered late. Minor smith. Kawashima Tadayoshi group
  8. That 's about that also for me concerning another WW2 blade he has at the moment. I am a patient guy, not a problem for me to wait.
  9. Hi Bruce, I delayed this project. Eventually Woody Hall shall do the polish but he has a 60 swords back log, so it won't be polished tomorrow!
  10. I wonder how many points it got on the work sheet.
  11. Still a nice sword that worths to be preserved with care.
  12. NBTHK does not have a work sheet with a score of points like NTHK NPO does. They give the same hozon paper to a showato and to a good gendaito, without making any difference. It demeans all papers by lowering the standard.
