All right, thank you, Uwe. I thought there was a deeper meaning behind it. 😀

Hello, I am selling this tsuba on behalf of a friend. The price is €400 plus shipping. Mei: 五郎 (Gorō) 60.1 x 59.7 x 2.5 mm

Hello everyone, I'm wondering what the exact meaning of 勝利剣 is. I get different translations on Google or DeepL, e.g., “sword of victory.”

Update: Softmetal part: 1. 160€ -> 125€ + shipping 2. 135€ -> 90€ + shipping 3. 140€ -> 100 € + shipping 4. 100€ 5. 85€ 6. 110€ Iron part: 7. 80€ 8. 75€ 9. 90€ 10. 85€ 11. 90€ 12. 100€

4000€ !

Thank you very much, Piers. Perhaps someone else can help.

One more thing I would like to ask for translate help with. The sword is in a Kyu Gunto mount. The inner wooden saya has this inscription on it.

Thanks for the confirmation about the mei. That's my problem too, I can't find anything about the smith. Perphas Osaka Tsuda School?

Hi, google translate this mei as: Sesshu ju Nobuari Can some help me, please?

Blade has Ubu-ha. Saya has some scratches, but nice three parts shito-dome.

I can hardly wait for this file to be released. Like all the others by M. Cox, I'm sure it will be very good.

This is a quick way to get the passage for the locking mechanism on the fuchi to the koiguchi. It's usually square.

Not quite the topic, but I have not seen a sarute with a leather cover.

Thank you, Bruce.

A new one (for me). https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/w1178811974?conversionType=YahooAuction_DirectSearch

One question. Have any of you ever seen an Ichihara Nagamitsu with a long signature, date and bohi?

By the way. The first Kozuka (Nami - Chidori) comes in a wooden box.

This sword is sold. Donation goes to NMB.

Hi Adam, believe me, it's even nicer in hands. But I'm not interested in a trade. There is a notch on the Nakago. I don't know whether the stories about it are true. Headcounts.... The Habaki is covered with silver foil. 2x Aluminum Seppa. Top polish! For the Shirasaya and the Gunto mount fine covers are of course included. A beautiful blade assigned to a high-ranking blacksmith: ¥ 3,0 (Millionen Yen Toko Taikan TK333) 80 (W.M. Hawley SUK893) Jo Saku (Fujishiro Seite 487)

A donation will be made to the NMB upon sale here.
