  1. I am seeking some assistance with this old paper. The seller have no information about this wakizashi except is a mumei with 49 cm nagasa. Thank you in advance!
  2. Manuel, You're right! I missed this in the description. It is not good to post early in the morning But it's still great piece.
  3. The interesting thing about this tanto is that it's done entirely by him. Apart from the knowledge of forging, obviously there are enviable skills to process wood and soft metals and make jewelry. A true master in every aspect. https://www.aoijapan.com/tanto-gassan-sadakatsu-with-solid-gold-fittings/
  4. Found this topic in the forum for the same tsuba. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/15844-face-tsuba-translate-help-please/
  5. Hello gentlemen, Today I came across this interesting tsuba for sale on ebay. For the first time I see such subject for tosogu. I do not intend to buy, I'm just curious. Have you seen tosogu with similar subject? How rare is it? Thank you in advance https://www.ebay.com/itm/VERY-RARE-SEVERE-HEAD-TSUBA-FANTASTIC-MUST-SEE-SIGNED-TADAMITSU-KATANA/302698429002?hash=item467a3b7a4a:g:SuIAAOSw2ylaykjW
  6. Christian, In Bulgaria we have our problems, but is bad manners to think all of us is corrupt and criminal. We can talk bad think for almost еvery country in the world. Krasimir Koev Is very respected martial artist and former military. He wants to buy cheap wakizashi in a decent condition.I showed him Jeremy's offer. He prefers Paypal because the bank transfer costs $ 215. The price for waki is 500$ and it is not profitable to pay half or the price for bank transfer. End one more thing, it's illegally to want photocopy of id card. Best regards from the bad side of the world
  7. Jean, Thank you very much for information. I like the fittings especially for the carp theme. Still waiting to see the whole blade.
  8. Hello Uwe, Yes, the sword is shortened and now is wakizashi with nagasa 50 cm. It's for sale from one antique dealer near to my town and have nice Edo koshirae. The pictures he made is very bad and i ask him for batter quality daylight pictures. I'm still waiting for them. When he sent me pictures i will post them to express your opinions.
  9. Hello gentlemen, I'd be glad if someone help me with the translation. Best regard, B.Kirilov
  10. Hello, I can't help with the mei, but I think the subject is Shoki the Demon Slayer. http://www.onmarkproductions.com/html/shoki.shtml
  11. Martin, I think it's the same brand new 3th edition for 150 cdn$. I don't know if they deliver to EU or the price is right. But this is the only one i found. Best regards https://www.amazon.ca/Swords-Swordsmiths-Province-Revised-Expanded/dp/099369182X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513172222&sr=1-4
  12. In amazon have one copy https://www.amazon.ca/Swords-Swordsmiths-Province-Revised-Expanded/dp/099369182X
  13. It's almost identical. I think it's not uncommon for a school to produce almost the same objects. Some of the members here have a lot of knowledge and will help you with the seal and the school.
  14. Hi, I can't help with the kanji, but is very nice Daruma/Bodhidharma set. Love this subject for tosogu. Look like some kind of seal. Best regards
  15. Yesterday after watching the documentary I told myself why they did not show this sword after polishing. Thanks for sharing Ray!
  16. Stephen, i think you will love this one. If you have not seen it yet, take a look! Very impressive but unfortunately very far from my level http://www.nihonto.ca/hagiya-katsuhira/index.html
  17. An interesting documentary about Тogishi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGLkUf1WOwA
  18. Some info for this gentleman and his website. http://tetsugendo.com/aboutus.html
  19. Jean, I was thinking the same. This is the only item which caught my attention. What do you think koto or shinto?
  20. Maurice and Jussi, thank you very much, you are awesome. That's why i love this place, because there is always someone who will help you and will know a lot about the subject. I really appreciate the time you spent to help me. As you mentioned signed pieces by Kuniyoshi are quite rare and look he is very skillful. My interest on Enju school start when I saw one mumei katana for sale on Aoi site and started to read and search about them. Really love the early Enju and hope some day I will own their work. Cheers.
  21. Hello Ken, Thank you for the link . I searched in sho-shin before start the topic and can't find Enju Kuniyoshi. They have others examples as Kunimura, Kunitoku, Kunitomu, Kuninobu, Kunishige and mumei, but not Kuniyoshi. Or maybe i miss something.
  22. Hello gents, I have interest in Higo Enju school and from a couple of days read and search about them. But i can't find examples for Enju Kuniyoshi 国吉. If some of you have examples will be grateful to share them. If I'm not wrong there is two generation Kuniyoshi, Ko-Enju and Chu-Enju. Thank you!
  23. Thank you guys for your thoughts. I will ask Mr.Tsuruta for this one and will consider what to do. Looking for my first nihonto and don't want to get burn! Best regards, B.Kirilov
