    Some things look good, some are bad. I dont like the lower part of the tsuka. The upper part is perfect. The seppa looks lower quality. As Bruce notice the over stamp of the fuchi is curious. Overall i think the sword is legit.

    Beautifull Tsuba Jimi. The guy in front of him looks like Lional Ritchie 😃

    Did you sent him a copy?? Please refer from selling self making copies. The book is availabe for a reasonable price like any other older books. People pay a lot of money to get it.

    this is what fine cloisonne should look like.

    Looks for me like a classy naginata-naoshi katana. I think the yokote is slightly visible. Very nice blade.

    Type3 Nothing else. When someone wrotes nlf i allways think he has no clue. The other terms like RS are total strange and sounds odd.

    Sori is a process of hardning. A blade hardned in water gets more sori than in oil. It also depends on the layer construction of the blade. I think your sword has a sori of 0,9 cm which is in the normal range.

    The sword looks older than shin shinto. You should upload bigger pictures they are very tiny.

    Its old i think maybe late edo. I think it is a museum mark or made by the owner.

    I store all my stuff in a tansu and didn't show it. This is for me very exciting because i forget after a while what i have. So when i look on my collection I'm very happy about the new pieces never seen before.

    If you look for a decent model wait. There are so much Type95 out there. No time for hurry. The sword looks re-paint in my eyes. There are some black saya type95 reportet. But this doesn't look authentic colored. It looks like sloopy buba painted.

    Very good Sam. Talented.

    The sword is real. The condition of the blade is nice. But i didn't like the black painted saya with that silverish koiguchi. The sarute is missing.

    Say what you want but its a hell nice sword when you love ara nie.

    The Type3 Gendai Koshirae was the most timeless sword outfit ever made. It's so damend iconic like a Porsche 911.

    You find also some of his entrys on Facebook with the google picture search yuhindo.com Some sites are complete with all the pictures. https://web.archive..../hoshizukiyo-kencho/ But overall its now more an archeological task to bring back all his work. Its a great loss that we lose him. I often think on him.

    You find some snapshots over the years on the wayback.machine. https://web.archive....ai-kunitsugu-katana/ https://web.archive....//yuhindo.com/#start

    Reshaped tip. The boshi runs out.

    It looks some what strange with its slender feets. The pearl of wisedom goes in the wrong direction.
