Silver Mounted Signed Norimitsu Tanto For Sale

[Yoshimichi]

Dear NMB Members:

 

I am offering for sale a silver mounted, what I believe unokubi-zukuri  shape, signed "Norimitsu" tanto. The mountings are silver, and a very attractive package. The nagasa is 11-1/2 inches in length. The blade is in fairly decent polish, but could use a re-polish or touch up, The saya has some missing lacquer in spots, and there is a small opening (about the size of a pencil lead) on one side. I have included a picture of it. The kozuka is silver and copper, with a crossed hawk feather mon on it.The kogatana in the kozuka is modern appearing. I have no idea if the signature is good or not, but it is a nice looking package. Buyer pays all shipping and insurance costs. Payment by Paypal ("friends and family"). If you have any questions, PM me. I am going to offer it for a few days to members first.

 

PRICE: $1,100.00

Last price reduction before being pulled from sale:   $925, or $825 without the kozuka/kogatana, if this makes it more practicable for the buyer.
