It's a brass/bronze mirror, it is signed 天下一藤原政重 Tenkaichi Fujiwara Masashige

The most "fancy" one of my collection. Shakudo tsuba depicting tiger and leopard by Itō Masataka 伊藤正隆 (aka Itō Katsumi 伊藤勝見)

和泉守兼定 Izumi no Kami Kanesada Is quite a famous name with several generations

That horimono (horrible-mono would be more correct) should be enough to turn that blade down without even checking the mei

Hard to tell, it seems that mon is quite popular

then it might be this guy http://sado2298.blog.fc2.com/img/201603251039547ad.jpg/

looks like 蔵巻藤近 (Kuramaki Fujichika?), i'm not sure though

Thank you guys, interestingly the tsuba also have the same kanji just in more traditional style

i'm having a hard time to find which kanji is this, anyone can help?

無邪思 No Evil Thought

still available

5000$ would be a fair price, also considering the koshirae is iaito level

btw his real name is Enomoto Eiichirō (榎本栄市郎), born 1951, son of Enomoto Sadayoshi (榎本貞吉)

伊豆住竜義作 Izu ju Tatsuyoshi saku Looks fairly legit http://www.giheiya.com/shouhin_list/japanese_sword/iaiyoushinken/01-1460.html

What is readable is 江州住 Koshu ju On the other side was probably written "Soten", it looks like a cast copy tsuba from Meiji period

The tanto is signed Yoshimitsu 吉光, might be Tosa Yoshimitsu

It says mumei (Shimosaka) ニツ胴但一(...) futatsu do tadashi ichi(?) (following is been cut) Seems a tameshi mei of two torsoes cut

looks like bamboo to me

五条忠助作 Gojo Tadasuke saku Shimada school swordsmith fo mid-Edo

Thank you, i think technically this is called alloy banding lines

Not sure i'd define them sunagashi, but the effect is similar. This is a wakizashi i made from 1070, water quenched

For sale Tsuba signed Naoaki (直鏡) + kao, full name Hata Naoaki (畑直鏡), who was also a swordsmith and the son of the 1st gen. Shōji Naokatsu (荘司直勝, 1805-1858) and grandson of Taikei Naotane (大慶直胤). All the swordsmiths of the Naokatsu line also produced tsuba, mainly in the Nobuie style, and these tsuba are often characterized by a "melted" surface with a dark smooth patina. This tsuba presents all the classic elements of Naoaki's works, it represents a wheel cart (partally in sukashi) and paulownia crests in vines by engraving. The mimi on left and right sides are engraved with kikko pattern, the typical turtle shell pattern of Nobuie. The patina is dark and smooth and overall the aspect of the tsuba is very "organic" due the melted appearance. Dimensions: 76x72 mm Thickness at seppa dai: 3 mm Thickness at mimi: 5.5 mm Price 850€ plus shipping and Paypal
