Thanks Peter! I thought too. Thsnks for fast reply. Peter

Dear Everbody! I try to translate the kanjis, but i think this is not a real katana just a fake. Please help me to identify this piece. Sorry i have just a pix about the nakago. The mei: Yamamoto Taro Thanks in advance for Your help. All the best to You. Peter

Dear Brian! Thank you for the help. The smith is correct that you wrote? If i post some pix about the sword can you help me to identify the smith snd era correctly? Thanks in advance. Peter

Dear Veli! Thank you for the fast reply and For praise too. All the best to You. Peter

Dear Everybody! Please help me at this translation. I bought that a days ago. Not too good condition because someone began the polishing. But tfor me this blade looks very interesting. The mei maybe Washu Ju Norinaga. Please help me. Thanks in advance for your time and help. All the best. Peter

Dear Brian! Of course, i know. I don't see yet the sword. When he will come to me than i'll see the wakizashi. I told him that i want to make some pix about the blade to post here. I bought a gimei katana (if you remember, a gimei Naotane). The sword looks great, but i don't see even, just told me the Japanese contact who help me at the shipping process. But my friend bought the wakizashi as genuin (i don't know how much money was it). Thank you very much for your help (and for the patient teaching). All the best to You. Peter

Dear Veli! Thank you very much for the oshigata. Looks like very different :-) My friend won't be happy. It's very difficult for beginner to buy a real sword. Thanks again for your help and time. All the best to You. Peter

Dear Veli! Thanks. You are great. I'm not an expert in this theme, but i learn if i have enough time :-) Do you think that is it gimei? Thanks again for your help and time. All the best to You. Peter

Dear Everyone! I got a picture from my friend about a nakago of his wakizashi. Please help me in the translation and identify the smith. Thanks in advance. All the best to You. Peter ps: That i can read: kawa.... no kami fujiwara .... Thanks.

Dear Chris! I haven't enugh time for so much learning but i have to find... I have to much more learning...Thanks. All the best to you. Peter

Dear Thomas! Thanks for the instructions. It was very interesting and with this name i found this person. I think i like him. If I get the sword i post some picture. I'd appreciate it if someone looking at (who know this thing, not me :-D I know just the heating, cooling, ventilation, etc.) Thanks again. All te best to you. Peter

Dear Mark! In the parenthesis is three kanji (Showato). Or translated i wrong? What made i wrong. Where is on the paper this name "Kajihie" Thanks Peter

Dear Toryu! I have an other question. How can it happend that the sword can get registrasion card?

Dear Toryu! If i made the translation correctly, then my boughted sword is a showa sword, not edo. And the mei is a really fake. Many thanks, that was very helpful to me. Can i know how did you find this picture? Thanks again for your help and time. All the best to you. Peter

Dear Chris! I looked few mei. I found the better collection of Naotanes mei here... But if i can to decide it maybe i don't ask for help. I don't know. I found some difference few points of the kanji. For example at the Nao kanji. On the left side has a little line but on my blade wasn't there. But in this topik here i found similar writing of this kanji. So with one word: Idontknow :-D I'm really very grateful for your help and your time spent on me. Thank you very much. All the best to You. Peter

Dear Chris! Sorry, i thought you've seen the pictures. Whatever. I attached some pictures about the mei that i download (maybe it is not problem, i bought and i paid the sword). If i get it finally i'll make more picture, if you will be so nice that you help me. Thanks in advance. I don't found nothing about this person.

Dear Chris! Thank you very much for your help. Why must be the first 之 kanji typo? I can't belive it that the swordsmith made so big error. Do you think that this sword or the mei is a fake? Thanks.

Dear Stephen! Sorry it is my fault, but i never learned in English (just use the words and the sentences that i heard) and i don't undertóstand exactly that you wrote. I saw the link that yo wrote but i can't open it (503 forbidden error). But i checked the itemnumber the end of the link. That is same that i bought on n auction site cc 2 weeks ago. I find any kanji, just these not that i asked. I think that menas "according to owner Horino Yoshi(ie, masa, taka) made this" but i don't know. Please explain to me again that you wrote. Thanks in advance to you for helps (even if you don't help me, for you time). All the best to you. Peter

Dear Everybody! Please help me to translate this kanji. Thans in advance for Your helps. 応堀野義方之需作之 Peter

Dear Brian! In Hungary. Peter

Dear Hoanh! Thanks. I understood. I'm not too happy but i have a conclusion: ask before i buy. :-) Really many thanks. All the best to you. Peter

Dear Brian! Yes, i'm the seller. The blade not reshaped. I tought that was a naginata, but the nakago looks like original. Not cuts, no anything else that it shows cutting. Maybe made it originaly so short. The hamon is real. I'm not a professional in Japanese blades. If you can help me, that i know more things about this blade, i delete the selling and i sent you the sword. Of course i'll pay the shipping price back too. Thanks for your help, all the best to you. Peter

Dear Hoanh! I don't want run. I just want to testing the price. I deleted the selling. Thanks for your warning. Do you have any idea about the price of this wakizashi? All the best to you. Peter

Dear All! I have a wakizashi(?). Please help me to identify this. I tried to translate the kanji, but i didn't see before such a shape blade like this. The kanji maybe is: ura: 備州長船是作 Bishu osafune koremitsu saku omote: 明應九年二月日 Meio Ku Nen Ni Gatsu Hi Please help me. This is a fake or not? Thanks in advance for your help. All the best. Peter

Dear John! Thanks for your help. All the best to you. Peter
