    If in fact, the Boshi does run off, this blade can't get papers, so not worth buying.

    Looking at the photos, it looks like the Boshi runs off.

    Sugata, could be Momoyama.

    These are presentation swords, from the early Showa Period. Most came with Showa To, however, I have seen one with a Gendaito.

    What's the old saying? You can lead a horse to water..........

    Michael, I agree with you there. Just because there is an accepted date, doesn't mean that everything changed overnight. I have another one I find interesting. I have a Harima Ujishige katana dated 1789. By the date, it's classed as Shinshinto, however, I would still class it as Shinto.

    I have a Dotanuki Kozukenosuke. According to records and book listings, he listed as Shinto, 1596- 1615. However, the Sugata, is definitely Momoyama! Personally, I would still class this sword as Koto. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a nengo.

    It looks like a Chinese copy.

    Osuriage, cut down from a Katana, maybe. Also, it looks like the kissaki has been re-shaped.

    USPS, is being gutted on purpose. They want privatisation.

    O-Mokume?

    David Flynn replied to Nicholas's topic in Nihonto

    Looks like late Edo Mino, to me.

    He wants to know about the durability, I think.
  14. David Flynn
    I haven't seen one for awhile. They usually have Mokume or Omokume hada, with a Mino style Hamon and Hataraki.

    John, I think you mean Late Meiji. His first ten years are classed as Shinshinto.
