Just for interest. Why is it only polished on that short part and no full polished. Thanks Chris
-
What is low end and what is high end? Who makes the price? The buyer makes the price. If i want a price no one is willing to pay i can built some aircastles but i never sold anything. It's like which god is better?

Maybe i'm not correct but i feel always all the blades from showa22 looks like have the same hamon. This one is nice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-17th-century-Japanese-Sword-Samurai-Wakizashi-Katana-in-Edo-Koshirae-/322319246865?hash=item4b0bb96611:g:FdIAAOSwHMJYH0p0 It has also a nice theme. -
I would follow Dave. Looks like a old blade to fit in a Kyu-Gunto Koshirae
-
A fine piece of art.

Lol. I saw an ape not a toad.

Its Sun Wukong and the King of apes. An ancient chinese story of a monk and his journey to the west in the empire of the ape king. I didn't know if I'm right but it could be so. regards Chris

Hi Mauro sorry i was missunderstanding you. My english is so worse Thanks for replay. Best Chris
-
Thank you Mauro. But these Hizen don't look good on that edo koshirae. The dragon in cloud tsuba is very nice and worthy. I like it. For me it looks perfect now.
-
Thank you Jean.
-
Thank you Jean. What you think how it looks on the sword? It fits perfect for me.
-
Hello Jean, these are other photos. Sorry I can't do better. Outside it is so dark now and the lights in my room is bad. With my limited experience i would say the iron is well forged. The iron is shining blue.

For this Tsuba I didnt find out informations about school and period. # 2 (Dragon in clouds with Shakudo mimi, silver pearl dots and gold eyes) 73 x 66 x 6.5 mm (mimi) /the dragon sorts out total to average 10-11 mm thickness. Hope someone can help. Regards Chris
-
I take a look and i didn't see how the handle is fixed on the blade. Can anyone explain it? For me it looks like the handle is forged as the nakago of the blade. For me the sword looks very nice
-
The stamps should look sharp and clear.
-
Looks like a nice sword. The menuki is a fish?
-
Adam you picked a very nice Tsuba. I saw some more worse Kinai than yours. The leaves are very nice carved and the condition is near perfect. The price is very fair i.m.O. But I'm not a expert.

vajo replied to BenVK's topic in Military Swords of Japan
Edit: Sorry you wrote it. My fault Dave on the first picture it looks like none Japanese. It seems to be european saber production befor ww1. what you think? Women with trousers. Some saber on the right side. The women on the machine looks like european. And so on. -

Possible The Finest Sword With A Hefty Pricetag!

I found that picture of the sword legend. The Picture ist from that website (i hope it is ok to link it)
-
Can i find somewhere better photos to take a look on these swords?
-
Very intersting Peter. Thank you for sharing it.
-
It's a nice blade.
-
It's a question of the money you have in the bag. These tsuba are worth every cent. I love the naoyuki but it is so far away and never reachable for me.
