Great to see you back

Appears to be a "Sam Browne" clip type from the missing bottom attachment. It's difficult to say with these as original Japanese types have been found with the clip.

That may have been a trick of the light/frame rate, in other slow motion videos of cutting the blade only flexes side to side once it contacts an object. -
Let's not get too carried away, it's clearly the number "8" used as an assembly mark.

Unless it is really cheap (hundreds of dollars), best to wait for something better to come along. This is really crude and doesn't really offer much else beyond the size.

Hi Bruce, the full inscription reads 夛賀大明神 - Taga Daimyōjin and the blade was made in the mid 1930's by Kojima Kanetoki.

Onkashi-To should be signed with "Kinsaku" after the Mei and placed below the Mekugi-ana. A clear put together.

Whenever you need a good laugh, heading to the lanes armoury site and reading the latest high fantasy they've dreamed up never disappoints. Hollywood could take some notes on the cultivation of sheer suspension of disbelief these fellows pull off.

Very low Showa 26 torokusho registration number
PNSSHOGUN replied to Gerry's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
From memory the registration numbers were contextual to the prefecture. That seller has many suspicious items, the kinpun mei is dreadfully poor. -
Some dealers appear to use the please enquire for anything over say three million yen, however after emailing them the price was well below that. In some cases it may be the terms of the consignor.

Certainly very interesting and a relatively small price for what it represents. If given a choice, I would prefer an O-suriage example that was healthier and possessed all the attributes the Ichimonji school is so revered for.

Juyo swords found in Shin Gunto Koshirae
PNSSHOGUN replied to PNSSHOGUN's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
The below order of battle lists one other; Maj. Gen Senda Sadasue. You can tell the Sadakatsu is a different sword than the one he's holding in the portrait below, although senior officers were known to own multiple swords. https://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/PTO/Iwo/IJcmd.html Bio: https://asiamedals.info/threads/lieutenant-general-senda-sadasue.28983/ -
Dawson offers far more value and useful detail for the money.

Rivikin beat me to it, but thought it to be classical Yokoyama work.
