  1. Thank you all for the information, which is greately appreciated!
  2. I have bought a Tanto without any papers. The Nakago is signed on the both sides. The Koshirae looks to be original to the blade and has a family Mon on the Saya. Any additional information will be greatly appreciated.
  3. Thank you very much for the "Kantei" and for the translation - the text from Markus Sesko's book describes the naginata perfectly! I am really happy that it turned out to be a good and legitimate blade! Nihonto collecting is a science in itself The blade doesn't has papers, but it doesn't bother me that much - I am buying swords, not papers! Some of my swords have papers and some not, but it doesn't make me like papered ones more
  4. Hello, This is the second time I post here, being more on a "lurker" side - since I have a little knowledge about Nihonto. I bought recently a Naginata - the price was a steal and I liked it. I would like to hear the Forum members opinion on this one and read the signature if possible. 41 cm Nagasa, a heavy and massive blade in shirasaya.
  5. And there are also double, not triple groups of "claws", see picture.
  6. That's why I ask about hamon type - the valleys are up to 3 cm long and are straight suguha. I have never seen this type of hamon before. Maybe it is not classical and have no name at all
  7. Thank you very much for the prompt reply! Now I know the name of my sword! I have tried to read the Mei myself using Kanji tables, but the same characters (printed in the book and carved on the Nakago) look quite different to me. Even "Seki" and "saku" I have found on another Oshigata. Can you please tell me what "ju" means?
  8. I'm sorry to start a thread on non-traditional sword, but I was reading posts on this forum since 2 years and simply do not know a better place to ask my question. The sword in question have shin-gunto koshirae and is in well preserved original polish. I believe that it have ko-itame hada, but I am not an expert. The nakago have "Sho" (Showa) arsenal stamp and the signature that starts with "Seki" and ends with "saku". I would like very much to know, how the other part is read, i.e. the name of the smith (I like to call my swords with their smith's names ) If something is known about this particular smith, then please tell me. Other question is about hamon: it is similar on the whole length of the blade and looks like Koshi-no-hiraita midare. But the distance between groups of 3 peaks is much greater than in classical examples. Maybe someone can tell me how this hamon is called correctly? Thank you very much in advance, and now the pictures (I hope, the will be shown )
