Thank you!!!

Thank you for your trust Michael All the best, stay safe! Perhaps we can deal something in the future again!

Hi George I had owned two swords made by "Inari KoKaji Toshimitsu" from 30 swords made for the Inari Jinja in order of the Milirary. One is numbered 23 I guess from 30, signed "made for complete victory of the war" Other is a extra long Tachi,(around 80cm nagasa) made by Toshimitsu for Suzuki Matsutaro, who was the chief priest of the shrine, additional signature, "made for eternal piece" I can try to get the Oshigata from its Nakago for you, I left both swords to my long time collector friend and of course I'm interested in futher information

Hi George san thanks again for your confirmation! stay safe.

Uwe gerne Maru ni Mokko Ka-mon

it really was a great pleasure and a honor for me.. own four from his wonderful made swords, included a beautiful Tanto

high quality made pierced tsuba, long handle with very good, big rayskin, with Ka- Mon on kabuto gane

John, made early 1939 98 pattern perhaps order made, 'cause differnt from the ones made by the suya company, by Yasumitsu.

Moriyama san thanks a lot! I suppose,related to the Ka Mon on the Kabuto- Gane, is "Iizuka shinichi" the name of the original owner of this sword? sounds plausible?

whole Koshirae
