Hi John, thank you very much for help. I was thinking tomokata but tomotaka or tomoyohi can also be possible. Hard to read. Thanks again for your help. It's highly appreciated. Regards, Ed

I'm trying to read the signature and struggling with the last part of it. Choshu Ju Tomo ? Thanks in advance, Ed

Just finished watching this nice lecture by Markus Sesko. If you haven't seen it before, don't wait and watch it now :-)

Thank you very much Steve. That's really impressive. Personally, I thought it would be impossible to read. Regards, Ed

The signature on the Tsuba is hard to read. Hope one of you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much, Uwe!

Hello, I have picked up a really nice fuchi kashira. Trying to read the signature. ?? Mitsuyasu. Hope one of you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Hi Bruno, I was not expecting a masterpiece at all. I try to read the mei to improve my skills. I bought the kozuka because I liked the design and the price was right. Not because it was signed. For me personally buying high end items is risky and out of reach. Thanks for all the information provided.

Thank you Bruno for the additional information. The way it's signed suggests the 3rd master but I doubt if this piece is a true masterpiece. Still a nice kozuka.

Thank you very much Piers!

Yesterday, I have found a nice kozuka. It's signed and I think the signature is Nara Toshinaga but I'm not 100 percent sure. All help will be highly appreciated.

Reportedly, the new sword is also unbreakable. That's interesting. I have never seen a broken stainless steel blade but I assume you guys have seen some.

Some really nice items posted! I didn't find many last year. Only a few items but I like them.

Just forgot to add this picture.
