Maybe,i also have seen tantos transformed(ruined) into hunting knives, but in this case,the sword have a japanes traditional tsuka,thats why i have doubts
-
I know that such bad looking tangs are often from fake swords,but in some ww2 swords the tang was heavily modded to fit the tsuka so, is there any way to distinguish them?maybe inspecting the blade itself? Here are some pics i found to ilustrate my doubt,the 2º is the only one im sure about is genuine Thanks
-
Ok,thanks
-
No,seriously, does anybody know what coud represent the sukashi in the first picture? Maybe a classical representation of myoga (ginger)?And is the sukashi on the second picture the same motif simplified? Any help is appreciated Thanks

I have a mumei unpolished wakizashi but with visible hamon.About it's period,being mumei it canot be known for sure but I would say late muromachi for the shape,however rust and koshirae don't seem from that period,maybe edo Any hints that could help with its dating? Thanks
-
Ok,thanks for the help :D
-
Lol,

Isn't the blade too wide for a cane-blade?
-
Maybe a dha from birmania?

Hey, Here i found a deplorable katana shaped blade in relic condition,with rust and pitting everywhere, my question is,what are the chances of this to be a genuine Japanese blade?the 'tsuka' looks pretty western and handmade Just curiosity,any help is appreciated
-
Here in Spain,there are also quite a lot of these swords.Dumping pics just in case someone cares anymore Pd:One of them had a 17 century signed blade

Ok,thanks for the help,i will follow your advice and make some research about quality tsuba

Good evening,i'm new in the tosogu forums,i'm here to ask for advice about two tsubas(Both being sold in Japan).One seems like an orange painted iron casted tsuba,my concern with it is that i found another equal in America.The other one is a tsuba sukashi but seems to perfectly shaped and it doesnt seem to have the black iron patina.Are the genuine? I'm a noobie in fittings and i'm not very sure about any of them.Any help is appreciated.Cheers
-
Well,it actually have parts of an high end koshirae and seems that they took a good care of it
-
Well,more than investment,it would be a very long-term investment, right now i just want to collect them because they appeal to me
-
What is a better investment? an early edo signed katana in poor conditions or an high end,good condition edo mumei katana?
-
Thanks for your help!
-
Hi,i would like to know if someone can help me with this signed katana.Probbably edo.It has a lot of flaws. Thanks.
-
Ok, thanks for the tip,but i'm student and cheap/flawed blade is what i can afford with my budget Anyways i didn't buy that one after all Josh
-
Anyone?
-
Well,i actually want it for its historical value,so i wouldnt mind that fatal flaw as long as the blade is genuinely that old,can someone help me with its age?
-
Yes,seems to be same that shows on both sides
-
Dam,I didn't noticed that D;

Hello, i have found a possible piece to add to my collection.It's being sold as a Muromachi period blade,but the tang looks to good shaped(in my opinion)for a blade from that period.The patina is black.Could it maybe from the beggining of Edo? .The blade shape is quite ambigous.Any help is apreciated. Cheers Josh
