  1. Just in case you hadn't seen it, I thought I'd post this link in hope that it might help. https://nihonto.com/the-yasutsugu-school-康継系/
  2. I'd be excited about that one, too; nice find. Congrats, Ed!
  3. My WAG: 1 - Once upon a time in Japan 2 - Mino Den 3 - Seki Ju Something or other.
  4. In addition to links in a recent post here, there is also info posted here.
  5. https://www.toukenko...i&katanaA111118.html Ray started a thread on it 5 years ago.
  6. Although I have very few tsuba, one is Kiku. Perhaps due to their popularity/abundance?
  7. Looks like this one is on hold now. When I saw the date, I wondered if it might be the last sword he made. What do you think?
  8. Avoid the auction fees by buying direct from the seller here .
  9. Some links that may be of interest. Info on Shigetsugu , Info on Toyama Mitsuru , Example of Shigetsugu's block script dated 1932
  10. George, With the current exchange rate you should consider taking you wife on a trip to Japan.
  11. And if I'm not mistaken, the second one appears to be Izumo Daijō Masamitsu. Can someone confirm? Some info on Hozon papers here.
  12. Apologies for being off-topic, but speaking of Darcy... I know it's trivial, but I would like to see him awarded a ranking of Grand Master.
  13. Lots of good info here about importing/exporting to Japan.
