Ray was faster than me. It is hitachi no kami muneshige. Stefan

Tsuba removing tool. That is new for me. Ist dies not make sense. Tsuka removing tool, O.K, but Tsuba ? Here is a Tsuka removing tool. http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/tools.html Stefan

It is Chu-Mihara in my Opinion.

Low grade blade, gimei. Stefan

I am speechless.

In my Opinion, an poor down ground Sue-Koto Tanto. Stefan

Going for Reizen Sadamori. I ve seen an nearly ident coloured hada on an other blade. Stefan

Regarding the boars, PN send. I used the old Tsuba Masafusa thread. Best whishes Stefan

A fine tsuba, but, the signature does not look good.

There have been several Generations of Tamagawa Yoshihisa. Stefan

Late Shimada style. Does not like it. Stefan

Cisco San, PN send Stefan

That is funny. i ve been honored to hold this blade several times, but in the photo, it looks totaly different. Dont know why. Nevertheless this a graet blade. Thanks Uwe for showing.

Sumi hada small amount , Dan Utsuri, Aoe Boshi, I do think Aoe ,late Kamakura. Just a guess , By the way, a very nice blade. Greetings and Yours Stefan

I did good buisness with him. Stefan

Classic Sanbonsugi, but a later form. Looks like Shinto. Greetings Stefan

Take that away, it hurts Stefan

This museum is a great oppotunity to learn. I have been pleased severals days before to select the blades which would be shown. I have never been before in the museum. I can only say great, mindblowing. I m listend to Mr Bowman carefully. He gave an great lecture. My heart was pounding while listing. Did I explain nonsens to Peter Janssen before hand ? ? For god I did not. It was also also a great pleasure for me to see and to meet several people, some old friends, and some new friends so I do hope.

Naoyoshi just an attempt

well done.

Just back from the museum. After several hours of watching only the finest quality armour and swords + kodogu I can say : Wow, unbelivable. In now over 30 years of studies in this field I never saw such a collection before. The owner Mr Jansen is also a real great gentlemen of old style; kind ,modest and generous. I was allowed to handle so many wonderfull blades in hand in a private session wich lastet several hours. I can only say if someone wants to study realy high class items, this ist the place to go to.

It is not so expensive. http://www.cez-archaeometrie.de/?p=434 http://www.cez-archaeometrie.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Preisliste_CEZA.pdf

Nonsens estimates...Great.

Yes , the storehouse is full....So many swords to be done...
