    Can't say anything with worth about the sword. But it looks Japanese for me. I like the tsuba very much. The leather looks like 80 years old. The ashi is massiv and the ring is well done. Maybe the mekugi is under the leather strap? Btw. the habaki looks like niage patinated. I don't remember any niage patinated chinese habaki. Dave, how much is this sword?

    High quality koshirae. Nice one. Did you have some pictures of the blade?

    8th gen. Nobufusa? I'm not sure with this. Try to compare with others. This is 7th generation 8th generation of Nobufusa It is very hard to say what generation your Nobufusa is. The best is to bring it to shinsa. Nobufusa swords are highly rated and with hozon there is no doubt on authentication. For me the mei looks to "modern" on your sword.

    Its a Japanese made sword for us serviceman after the war. Search for Bruce Penningtons handout. He describes all about these swords.

    they are all from the same fabric. With a good paint job it would burn many.

    That is Generalfeldmarschall Walter von Brauchitsch. I wonder where that sword has gone after the war.

    All is fine with this sword.

    臨時制式 means temporary (ceremony). The Type3 was not temporary because it was made during Type98 were produced further. The Type3 was the better koshirae for war and was designed by the tachi of general yamamoto kansuke who wear the sword during the war of kawanakajima 1561.

    You found high superior class made blades in Type 3 koshirae. And many showato blades in blinky blinky shining type98 koshirae.
  25. vajo
    All that speculation which koshirae has more worth is non sense. Did you think a proud Japanese officer would carry a buzz sword with the mockery of the lower ranks?
