    First revolver makes me think of a Tranter. The Colt revolving rifle reminds me of Colt root.

    “Nice file work” Nate, that’s one of the worst nakago I have seen. Wavy shinogi, flattened nakago. Upto a point I would have said the hardest word “Chinese”… Here are nice file marks:

    I saw this on Facebook and I am very disappointed because it is in July and that I’ll be on holidays and won’t be able to attend. They should have left it in June.

    If doctors, it should be bokuto

    8 years overdue, I can’t believe it was launched more than 8 years ago.☹️

    I was wondering if and when these books will ever be completed; a year ago or a bit more some books were supposed to be printed, since then nothing? Does anybody in this group have news?

    Makes me think about Miike Mitsuyo

    Thanks Bob. Darcy, Ted and you remain in my mind as the three musketeers. 🙏🙏

    I am devastated, I have known him for decades since he posted a Miike sword for kantei that I identified. Among my best blades in my Gokaden collection, I got the Naoe Shizu and the Tametsugu from him. We exchanged alot along the years discussing the Aoi Art weekly kantei. I met him and Curran in Japan during my last DTI. I’ll miss him. I remember when he told me he had discussed at length my Hôsho/Tegai blade with Bobby and Guido. They were the 3 Musketeers, remains only Bobby. My mind is in turmoil…

    David, for NBTHK kanteisho: - O suriage or mumei long blades (over two shaku) are referred automatically as katana. - in the same way, sunobi tanto over 1 shaku are classified as wakizashi - nagamaki naoshi are classified as Naginata naoshi

    Just paste « customs code for antiques more than 100 years old » on your browser and you’ll have all your answers on this touchy subject. BTW, a tariff code for antiques over 250 years old is a non sense.

    Final Price 402 000¥

    Dana, Just a tip: the blade does not seem to be too rusted, however do you see any hamon? The nakago has red rust

    This one seems unsigned. Here are some kogatana examples: https://www.aoijapan.com/fittings/kogatana/ Don’t waste too much money on it. It is the real thing but nothing more than a tsunagi. The blade seems plated. Edo or not does not really matter taking into account the value of such a blade.

    https://www.aoijapan.com/tsubatakahashi-kojikao/ THis one could possibly cost an arm.

    Genuine fake 🤣😂

    It looks like some kind of deringer, Stephen, easily obtainable. I prefer the Remington one https://www.naturabuy.fr/pistolet-COLT-DERINGER-N-2-item-8279994.html
