hxv Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Greetings, For sale is a nice mumei, osuriage, long wakizashi in koshirae. As always, you can return the sword within the 3-day inspection period for a full refund (minus shipping both ways). Price: $850 + shipping + PP (if applicable) / OBO. Nagasa: 21.5" Overall: 27.75" The blade: The blade comes with a two-piece copper habaki, is absolutely straight, has no hadaware or chips or nicks along the entire cutting edge, and no crack or fatal flaw. There is minor, minor nick in the kissaki, which can be seen in the macro photos. Over the entire length of the sword, wherever I can peek through the oxidation, I can see even and profuse ji nie and the yakiba is nie deki. I have included a representative picture of the nie activities, and I have many more pictures just like it at different location of the sword. It's a very nice sword, but does need a polish. Tsuka: Nice tsuka with dragon menuki and matching fuchi/kashira. There is some fraying of the ito and small areas where the fuchi and kashira have slight loss of patina. The pictures shown depict these areas clearly. Tsuba: The tsuba is also very nice and in excellent shape with very good patina. The plate is thin (~4mm at the rim and ~3mm at the nakago ana), 7.4cm (height ) x 7.0cm (width). Saya: The saya is intact, with a very small piece of wood missing at the mouth of the saya. It suffers an amateur lacquer job (: The entire ensemble fits together well and tightly, so I believe everything is original to the sword within the last 70 years. I have tons of pictures. If you wish, please PM me your email and I'll get the pictures to you. Regards, Hoanh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
