    Yes Tbone it turns out this same dirk was already posted. See the thread above posted by Manuel. What goes around comes around! Tom

    Thank you all very much, great information! It's very interesting how some smiths had aliases. As far as the date goes I thought those two little ticks were part of the next kanji. Thanks again for everyone's help. Tom

    Hi everyone, this is a new gendaito that I just picked up in shirasaya. I have the date as December 1935, but am having trouble as in lost when it comes to the swordsmith. Can someone please translate the mei? Thank you very much, Tom

    I have purchased several items from him over the years and have always been dealt with honestly. He is a reputable seller. Tom

    Bruce you are getting really good at translating! Tom

    The date I believe is May 1945, but I’m hoping for a full translation of the other side. I recognize the last name is Masa but that’s all I could figure out. Thanks in advance, Tom

    Hi Kiipu, the machi is actually level, it’s just distorted in the picture. I have attached another picture to show this. It’s definitely an unusual habaki. Yes Mike, I’ll bring it next time we meet up. Tom

    Here’s a recent pickup that I couldn’t resist. It’s in desperate need of a polish, but you can still appreciate the beauty of this sword. It looks like clouds billowing down the shinogi. I’ll attach more pictures in a follow up. Please let me know what you all think. Thank you, Tom

    The gentleman you need to contact is Don Schlickman. email dfsjpn@aol.com. He's a great guy and a pleasure to do business with. He should have in stock what you need. He makes reproduction parts for many Japanese items. Tom
  24. drb 1643
    Sorry Elissa, it's a really bad reproduction. I hope you didn't pay too much. Tom

    John, great site! I just checked it but it appears to be generals only. Is the another site for naval officers? Thanks for your help, Tom
