He will be missed. Me and a friend talked with him last November at the
Dutch Token Society meeting. A bit unreal it went so fast. He polished my first sword years ago and I had a chance to see him work.
A sad loss it is.
Hi all,
I was wondering if you could have a look at this Wakizashi and tell me your opinion on the Mei being original or Gimei. I know this is not easy from photo's but would appreciate the try.
Kind regards,
Rick
Thank you very much George and Morita san, I do appreciate your help and you effort reading my post!
I have two more photo's of this blade but they are even worse then this one and the photo's are of the blade. The blade is in civilian mountings but looks to be a Showato from what I can see. I will do some research on the the name now I know what it is.
Thanks again!
Hello all,
I would like to ask your help on translating the Mei of this Military Katana. I am sorry that the photo is of bad quality.
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
Kind regards,
Rick
Today was the second meeting of the Dutch Token Society, where we were informed that the catalogues are no longer available. All have been sold. The total visitors counted until last week (Today was the last day) was about 50.000
