    Just to show my latest addition. Old blade, suriage. Signed omi (no) kami ____. The fittings are very nice and show little wear.

    Recently I have picked up a nice gunto with a lacquered tsuba.

    Beautiful kogai

    I was thinking of a incense burner myself but it is quite an unusual subject. I'm very happy with it. Thanks for all the positive feedback!

    Beautiful kogai

    EdWolf posted a topic in Tosogu

    Yesterday, I was at a militaria show. I had an appointment with a dealer to look at a Gunto sword he had for sale. The seller also had this beautiful kogai. I found it very attractive so I made the deal and bought both. Although the kogai is not signed the craftsmanship is above average. To share my excitement just a few pictures. Feel free to comment. Regards, Ed

    My friend is a very experienced collector and was also a dealer for almost 45 years. I will ask for pictures of the blade. Hopefully he will share it with us. Regards, Ed

    Thank you all for your helping me. That's an early dated blade. The blade is not mine but from an old friend. He bought the blade many years ago (30+) and was wondering about the signature. Thanks again for all the help. Regards, Ed

    Is it possible to read the tachi mei and date of this blade? The pictures are not great and the signature and date are hardly visible. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ed

    A part of the signature is cut off but I want to know the first part of the signature. The picture is bad but it's the only one I have at the moment. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Ed

    Need help with the translation. I have tried to read it but it doesn't make sense. I'm probably wrong but this is what I found. Ishihara ju toshi... Saku?

    @ROKUJURO hi Jean, Thanks for the guidelines. I did my best but my photographer skills are bad. The auto focus failed and manually focus also failed because of my bad eyes. The habaki can only be moved a few centimeters. Tried to remove it but I don't want to damage the habaki. @John C, indeed early fittings. @PNSSHOGUN John already mentioned that.

    Just to share with you the latest addition to the collection. The blade is signed Bishu Fujiwara, the rest of the signature is cut off.

    Hi Maurice, thanks for the link. Hard to tell from the picture. Hopefully the blade reveals more details and is the blade interesting to buy. I have the opportunity to see this blade in person so I want to be prepared.

    Ray, thanks for your quick reply! Regards, Ed

    Not the best picture but it's the only one I have. Hope one of you can help me with the translation.

    Nice picture, thanks for sharing. The Do and Shinai in the upper right corner is a nice detail.
