Thank you. Is it possible to give an approximate price estimate?

O.k...... this would mean a time-period from 1596 - 1781 ? A quite long time for forging a sword.... Is Bungo Shigeyuki + Tomoshige the right maker?

I hope these pictures are better for a propper review.

This would mean early edo-period?

Hello, I´ve got this wakizashi for some years. Me was told, it is from the muromachi- period. Made by a sword-smith named Kunishige Tomoyuki. But now I´m not longer sure of this. Is it possible to say in what period this sword was made an from whom? I would appreciate your opinion. Thanks. Ed.

Thank you very much. What would be a fair price for this sword? Ed

It´s not my sword. It is offered to me for 1.400€. I will ask for better pics.

What are your thoughts? Could this mumei katana be an muromachi-era sword? In my opinion it should be late edo-era. What would be a fair price for the sword? Thanks Ed

I´ve purchased this sword. The nakago is mumei. It still have a nice polish despite of the rusty stains. The total length of the blade is 31,5 inch. Is it possible to estimate the right period? I presume it could be from the Edo-period. Am I right? How old is the tsuba? What shall I do with the rusty stains? Would it be worth to make a new polish? Ed

I´m not surprised. Thank´s.

Hi guys, this sword is offerd to me. Could it be a real showato? What are your thougts Ed

Is this wakizashi made by this smith? http://nihontoclub.com/smiths/KIY456 If yes, what does "niō" mean, and what is the meaning of the last kanji? Could the nakago be shortened??? ed

Thank´s very much. Sorry for my small provocative joke :lol: 200$ would be even o.k. for me :D Ed

So, here´re now some daylight closeups. Not perfect, but in spite of this I hope a clear determination will be possible. By the way.... this I´ve found today in WWW. Not the same but damned similar..... http://www.google.de/imgres?sa=X&biw=12 ... P8BEK0DMDY Ed

No, it looks like an "scratch" made by the smith. Ed
