    This looks like, Fukure(blisters) to me. Probably not fatal, but the positioning, on the hamon in the monouchi area, is certainly a worry.

    Alan, my camera is only a cheapie and all close ups of the badge were blurred. P.S. get with the times, this is the digital age, no film.

    It all appears original. The sayer is black laquer and the naval badges appear to have been affixed at the same time. Unfortuately, photos can't show how original it appears, compared to holding it. Including it's original Aussie owner, this sword has only passed through a few sets of hands. All people involved are known and haven't done anything to it.

    Alan, just click and zoom :D yes same sword.

    This is a photo of a Shingunto mount from a Special order Kanemichi. What is unusual, is the naval emblem attached to the Saya. This is on both sides. If anyone has any information on this type of mount, I would be grateful for the imput.

    Unfortunately, there are always the few who manage to spoil things for everyone. I hope that this is not the case here.

    Showato (Showa and Seki stamps) are good cutters and a better proposition than Hanwei etc. Buy a paul chen and try to sell it later, you will be lucky to get half your money back. Whilst showato continue to rise in value.

    Many swords like this were produced in Inonesia, particularly, Java.

    G'day James. This sword looks to me to be Gendai. It could be shinshinto, but I doubt it. The price is fair, however, unsigned Gendai are hard to move, unless mounted (civilian) and sold to a martial artist. I collect Gendai and stay right away from mumei gendai.

    And Merry Festivus for the rest of us. :lol:

    Stephen, the Australian Museum is about a 10minute walk, about one and half Kilometres as the crow flies.

    The state of, New South Wales, 2010 is a inner Sydney suburb. People from NSW are called, New South Welshmen. People from Sydney are called, Sydneyites. 2010 is also the next Suburb to Where the Sydney Shinsa will be held. Also, the only restriction on posting Nihonto, that I'm aware of, is calling Tanto Daggers. Customs will not allow th importation of knives. However swords are OK!

    Reinhard, Sorry I don't do online Kantei. And yes I've outed myself, I'm an Idiot. Oh well. I really don't care do you? That's the joy of being an idiot. P.S. I meant physical kantei. Why not come to the Sydney Shinsa and we can have a chat.
  25. David Flynn
    Here is where my naivety and ignorance has come to the fore. I thought Kantei was naming the smith using attributes. Not realising that what I have been doing with my friends for years, was kantie. I appoligise for what this thread has turned out to be. Of course one may not be able to pick a good sword, without many years of study.
