    Hi John, that is part of why I bought this waki, so much to enjoy 😉.

    Hi Jean, apologizes for the pictures, hint, hada is Masame and some Itame. Sometimes I get good ones and most the time I do not. I feel I failed to show the beauty and elegance in this one, as opposed to my showa Nagamitsu... but atleat I have a Daisho now. We have a hurricane rolling thru so more pictures are not an option due to humidity. Thank you all for your reasoning and deductions please, if you can include them in the Kantei for me and others to learn from; keep the guesses coming.

    Hi John, this is the best I think it can get on a black drop.

    There was a amazing set of silver plate menuki with , gold dragons, some shakudo on the dragons, and copper tounge, from Mark C.... if only I had the money. Brought my Nephew, who had a good time, here he is holding a monster he liked. Great show, with great feedback to my questions, learned quite a bit this show.

    +2 for Dave, and Bruce's advice. It is interesting the theater of war and owner are engraved. You could always send it to a togishi for an opinion. Best of luck Frank.

    Hi Bob, is it possible to post dates and times for scheduled lectures and demos? Last time I lucked into a great opportunity, session by Mike with beautiful tosogu, and 3 very fine swords to study.

    new kantei

    Ooitame replied to paulb's topic in Nihonto

    In hindsight I should have sent a PM, my sincere apologies Paul. The Mei is slightly different, but I will go with 4th gen.

    I am leaning towards not Japanese for all the reasons stated above, plus I see only Damascus.

    new kantei

    Is the mei visible in the second full sword picture?

    I do not think fitters would risk damaging a sword by stamping. Unless they owned the blade and were going to sell privately. But we have seen many blades with paint. Plus the stamps on fittings only and those without, the mystery continues....

    New Nihonto

    Ooitame replied to Ooitame's topic in Nihonto

    Hi Steve, I do not plan on selling it for many years hopefully. Thanks Rich, that Shinsa was a very tough one for getting Kantiesho. In addition, I am honored that it was appraised/kantied by the late Mr. Yoshikawa Eiichi.

    Hi Steve, yours looks like a 3 stroke. I am adding a link with a few mei from members here. In Ray's link in the attached NMB post yours looks very similar too T. I find that with Nagamitsu swords they should be judged individually. If you search my posts you will find my Nagamitsu. Better pictures of the hada and hamon help in judging quality.

    Off topic... but, Interesting looking quartz, does anyone know if the color of the quartz found in a vein relates to the golds purity?
  24. Ooitame
    Thanks Bruce, and Marco.

    Not too long ago, I can not remember who posted a Nagamitsu for sale, but it felt a bit off. Not doubting or questioning authenticity.... It was in type 3/100/RS mounts, but had Same under the Tsuka ito. I do not remember seeing any with Same before, am I mistaken and it is possible that it was original Same?
