Richard hope these photos help Dan

I found this Kazunori Paper in my Yasuyoshi NBTHK envelope. Has anyone seen this type of paper before? I've had this for about 6 or 7 years lol. Thank You Medina san

The results are in almost got a 77 lol. Time period is 1455-1457, about 560+ years old. Thanks to all for all the great comments. Dan

I'm still a newbe at this even after many years. Always question why was it shortened, look for age and quality. But there are many more knowledgable experts on this forum that can give a better answer. As far as the shinsa my sword passed, it turns out to be a real Soshu Ju Masahiro. I'm all exited to see the work sheet.

Well the sword is at the Chicago Shinsa, really looking forward to see the results. Dan

I looked in my book it has 614 mon and non match. sorry. Dan...

Wow so sorry to hear this sad news so late, just found out. I did get a chance to meet Harry in Albuquerque when he was working on the Kuza many years ago in the 90s i think.

Anyone out there have any Masahiro oshigatas they could post? Thank you dan.

Yes it is, I've been spending hours on this one. trying to find info is hard even with plenty of books on hand and the world wide web. trying to pin down the generation. Dan

I also wanted to share the Photo that shows the Habaki.

Like Stephen said below it's the Mei folded over to show that it did not come from another sword.

Good Morning to all. Some of you know me as Medina San. I have not posted in a while, so it's about time for me to do so. First this item is not for sale, it's for everyone to enjoy and learn. As that is what I want to do, so all comments and thoughts are welcome. This Wakizshi has an Orikaeshi-mae to Soshu Ju Masahiro its 22 inches long with Horimono of Bonji and So no kurikara. I do have more photos if needed.

I have not been around for a while sorry to hear this sad new our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.
