dkirkpatricks prices are more in line with the market —and more the higher end of his range estimate.

matthewbrice replied to matthewbrice's topic in Translation Assistance
Ah. Could fit really. Early Naval Sword with part of the inscription reading Katsuki. I wonder if the rest of the inscription will give more definition. Thanks John. 👍🏻 —Matt -

Presentation Sword Translation
matthewbrice replied to matthewbrice's topic in Translation Assistance
Oh boy. I had that wrong, Ray. Thank you! Now to the reference books. Interested to hear what the Presentation says. This might prove to be as difficult as my grass writing requests! Thanks again, Ray! —Matt -
I am looking for help translating a Presentation on a sword I have. I suppose I might as well ask for comments on the Mei as well. I have it as Fujiwara Kuni Tadamichi. The gentleman who read it commented that the Fujiwara should not be before kuni, and the michi kanji is nonstandard. Those who can help, I kindly thank you in advance! —Matt

Hi John. Would this be the sword you are looking for? —Matt

matthewbrice replied to Corry's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Everyone knows Ikkansai Kunimori swords to be gendai. Everyone who offers one for sale—all the names in the business state they are gendai. Here are even just a very few examples: http://www.nihonto.us/IKANSAI KUNIMORI TACHI JP.htm http://swordsworld.blogspot.com/2009/02/gendai-swordsmiths-papered-by-nbthk-or.html?m=1 https://japanesesword.com/archived-pages/2017/7/28/gendaito-bymiyaguchi-kunimori —Matt -

I’ll compare to the signature references you dug up too, Matt. I appreciate your doing that digging. Those signature references will be very helpful! —Matt Brice

I hear you, Ian. I haven’t checked the signature with Fujishiro yet. Haven’t had a chance to photograph the sword to post yet either. I’ll get to it soon. Thanks Ian! —Matt

Thank you Matt and Thomas! Thomas—yes, I’ll post photos of the sword and horimono tomorrow! Thanks again, gentlemen! —Matt

1 traditionally-made Japanese WW2 gendai sword available. This fine antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection. The blade measures 24 3/32” from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. The nakago is signed ‘Nagamitsu’. The hamon is complex. Condition: The blade has an occasional minor scratch. There are a couple of tiny nail-catcher type nicks in the edge—they are so small they are hard to see. The blade is in fair polish. The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy. —Matt
