    Hi, the blade shown has a 20.3cm nagasa. You can see here another example of koshigatana and the blade is obviously a tanto. Personally, i would be careful with some internet sources.

    Hi, about Koshigatana (The Japanese sword by Kanzan Sato)

    Hi, I don't think, the kanji shu is very different.

    Hi, Below an oshigata of Tadakane (this who signed later Kunihira).

    Hi, Wakizashi do not exist in Kamakura and Nanbokucho period. They appeared during Muromachi era. About the kanji Suke the left vertical stroke doesn't miss, it is only suggested. The Toko taikan lists six Sukemune (3 without oshigata) in Mikawa province.

    Hi, As i am a ko-budo practitioner , i made a search about Battodo which are elaborated during WWII, Takayama Masayoshi was the initiator of Jissen Budo Takayama Ryu Batto Jutsu, and taught it at the Imperial Naval Academy. He said that one cannot kill people with a sword using only kendo training (Shinbu fusatsu). More info here.

    Hi, The mei reads Awataguchi Ikkanshi Tadatsuna horido saku 粟田囗 一竿子忠綱彫同作 and the date is Genroku ju go nen hachi gatsu hi 元禄十五年八月日 (1702) .

    Hi, Shigetaro Emura was the head of the Okayama prison, not Takayama prison. :D

    Hi, According Toko taikan, the one who worked in Tenbun (1532-1555) signed both 南都住金房兵衛尉政次 and 南都金房兵衛尉政次. Best wishes. :D

    Hi, The second kanji is not clear and difficult to read, but the mei reads Ka X Toshikane 加X壽金.

    Hi, Seems sue-seki http://www.users.on.net/~coxm/oshigata% ... 20k32.html

    Hi, Something seems odd; i've never seen a Bizen Sukesada written 助定. Ordinary there are written like this 助貞 or 祐定.
  16. Jacques
    Hi, About Sukesada, it is practically impossible to tell something because there are about 70 swordsmith with this name in the same period. Concerning Kanetomo, there also some who worked in Mino.
  17. Jacques
    Hi, It seems signed Sukesada 助定.

    Hi, Looks still fake.

    Hi, Just a guess: 3 Bizen (no) kuni (no) ju Osafune X (can't decipher the last kanji) 4 Noshu (no) ju Kanetomo.

    Hi, A little correct, the first is Kanekuni (think Stephen made a typo)
  21. Jacques
    Hi, There was a Norimitsu (and not Nagamistu as i firstly said. :? thanks John for correcting) who had a long career which started in Bun'an 1444 untill Bunmei 1469/1487. Some oshigata, the last mei shows a gassaku (joined work) with Katsumitsu in Onin Gannen (1467).

    Mihara ju Masahiro

    Jacques replied to Lammi's topic in Nihonto

    Hi, Also quoted in Fujishiro koto jiten with a clear oshigata which does'nt match.

    Hi, Some info here

    Hi, Samurai were very sensitive, such an attitude would have been taken as an offense. A little chrismas gift for you Jean (written by clive Sinclaire and translated in french).

    Hi, Domo arigato Moriyama san, The sword is held on the wrong side, the tsuka should be in the left hand.
