Is de Horimono from the same date or is it carved in much later? Does it make a sword more or less valuable?
-
Hello, is it possible to cover Hagire with Horimono carving? Second question, is this an old wakizashi with Horimono ?? Signature of Hiromitsu Gimei?

Hello John, thanks, I'm learing a lot on this board. The prices of Japanese swords are much higher in my country. For a Mumei type 98 Gunto out of polish the asking price is over $ 1000. I have made an apointment with the seller to see this Wakizashi in the flesh.
-
Jean and John thanks for the response. What do you think of this blade? http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/16934-opinion-asked/ Both are for sale in my country and are in the same price range 500-550 $.

Whats your opinion about this Wakizashi? Place of the Habaki looks a little strange to me. http://www.marktplaats.nl/a/antiek-en-kunst/antiek-overige/m935838410-antieke-japanse-arimitsu-wakizashi-500-jaar-oud-new-polish.html?c=80906a7f13ccf514b11788e5504db095&previousAction=asqSent

I removed the leather wrap, the laces where to far gone and i couldn't save them. I put the wrap in a leather softener. 3 old iron tires and one new are wrapped around the Tsuka. I handmade a "mekugi" and made a real tight fit cause the Tsuka never has to come of again. Now some new leather laces and try to rescue the wrap.
-
Thanks for the response, i want to place a mekugi so i have to peel the leather wrap.
-
Any tips how to remount the Tsuka??
