    Tsunahiro

    been looking for a Katana to go with my Tsuguhiro wak, is this coming up on Ebay? Mine may be gimei or hopefully a different generation as Nippon dealer told me at a Tampa show.
  2. perhaps the pix we should have seen first.
  3. better to show pix of the tang, i dont get a good feeling on this mei. Pix of all the fittings and blade need to be seen. Im think Chinese copy so far.
  4. Very nice find. Made by a high ranked gendaito smith. your very lucky.
  5. Looks like a really nice find, wed want to see the mei. As you may well know he also signed Yasuhiro at the Yasukuni shrine. This was most likly done at his own forge. hope these two files help what your asking about.
  6. the small pin with lady on it should un screw would be my guess.
