    Thanks! I read the last character as Saku and worked backward from there. The Kane was clear, the Kuni was a little off - I now see that it was indeed Seki. The Shu character was different than the usual way that I have seen it. I appreciate the help.

    Your kantei experience reminds me of Michael Hagenbusch. He conducted fabulous kantei sessions at American sword shows. I miss this fine gentleman.

    The best that I can offer for menuki and ito on a tsuka is to use kids foamy soap that is sprayed on and a used clean soft toothbrush. The foamy soap is gentle and odorless. I also use the same stuff on tsuba and f/k. Dry well as you do not want to promote rust on iron fittings.

    I suggest the JSSUS website link to a section on fakes http://www.jssus.org/nkp/fake_japanese_swords.html

    Juyo Koshirae

    b.hennick replied to Fred Geyer's topic in Tosogu

    A sword needs to pass tokubetsu hozon to go for juyo. Does the accompanying koshirae also need tokubetsu hozon papers if submitted with the sword?

    The f/k are papered but not the tsuba. I would be happy to own the set - paying regular price for the fuchi kashira and a lowered price for the tsuba. If you buy it we can talk....

    How about Ono? I find Sado pieces more refined.

    A person has a friend bid to raise the price. The friend stops bidding when the price is high enough.
