Congrats on the purchase, it looks like a fine blade! It looks to be a osuriage sword so I would hazard a guess it is much older than you are thinking.via your papers. It's getting late I'll read the pro's opinions tomorrow. Nite nite

Good deal all around!

Nice bohi work on this one, whomever is making these is putting in the effort.

The Togishi really knew how to work the hazuya.

Looks good Brad, You've been looking for awhile! I would not worry about the little line, looks like a minor delamination in a area not seen. The Shinae wrinkle patch can't be seen either so that's a good thing! Nice and pointy with no chips that is the way to get them!!!
Congrats,
Bob

Wow, The burnishing on the shinogi ji is fantastic!

Anybody see the X-Files last night? That lawyer had a nice impressive inset set up for his katana collection in the wall's with set back lighting. Too bad he got his head cut off with one by the Voodoo golem.

Nice file work on the nakago, tsukamaki looks like I wrapped it. You going for it Stephen?

Rob, Here's a picture. Cousin if afraid to take the handle off. Probably nothing special but the price was right. The other thing I left a bid on I won which was a box of 15 & 30 round Mil Surplus M1 carbine magazines with bullets! Super stoked about that as I love my carbine and just have a couple 10 round mags.

Those shodai and nidai Kanewaka blades are really nice blades, also expert horimono too if I remember right. How did the mei match up to references Chris?

Very nice!

Thank you Uwe!

Gents,
I left a phone bid in Nov on a Owakazashi at small local auction near my cousin's non internet. Just one picture to look at and it looked good, classic closet queen, very light discoloration in spots, maybe light rust, in shirasaya with Okissaki. They did not take the handle off and neither has my cousin. I'll pic it up on the way to Chicago.
Anyway, he did send a pic or what looks like a registration card taped to it. Anyone see anything they can comprehend?
Best regards,
Bob

Gents, Having a bit of trouble placing this Kanetada as my Shinshinto reference library is minimal. I saw mentioned on NMB on another thread that there is a KaneTada early 1800's in Hawleys. Can anyone make the match and clue me in?
Best regards,
Bob

Here is a link to another Pawn Stars recap with a Yasutsugu in the top ten.

The hada looks like a Amahide's factory mixed metal special order

From the artilcle
"The program only required the blades, but owners who wished to sell the swords complete with Koshirae was paid for the Koshirae as well"
A change of thought that I will consider now; is that the so called "Civilian WW2 swords" with edo koshirae were more than likely soldier carried.

Luis, What price did the hammer drop? It looks like a nice blade, I bet very nice to look at in hand.
-
The samurai really wanted to keep that sword tucked in his obi
-
Now with the new pics I like to change to a Shitahara guesstimate
-
My first thought popping the picture open was a mixed metal art blade from Meiji/Taisho. Forgot what the proper term for those are in Nihongo. I reckon I thought that due to the contrast of the picture. Anyway, I love it and those eye popping hada blades are my favorite to collect.
Best regards,
Bob
