Milt before you buy it, why not ask the dealer David -
I'm a predominately a Gendai collector. I generaly don't collect anything post war, although I have one sword from 1988. However with my own collecting Jargon, I consider Shinsakuto, to Made by the smiths taught Post war and comming into prominance from the 1970s onwards. I also go on shape and style. One only has to have a shinsakuto in their hands, to know it is a shinsakuto. Again just my opinion' :D David

Thanks Ludolf, I saw the listings in Hawleys and considered him to be the same smith as listed for Hid110 1867 and listed in Token Takai. This sword is signed Tachi Mei and came in 1934 double hanger mounts. David

I have seen this on a Koto blade in gunto mountings as well. I think it is just for effect David

Every now and then, some nut goes beserk with a sword somewhere in Australia. As most people already know, Victoria already has a legislation in place. NSW, was considering something similar, but has deffered. The problem is, if someone wants to go beserk, they can always find something. David

Does Jin Soo Kim still have a website? If please let me know what it is. Thanks David

Quang. I agree it's silly, But the ones I saw were advertised as him. I have a couple, plus a lot of oshigata. I think it may be done to mumei blades. Nagamistus have risen dramaticaly in price, over the last couple of years. David

Thank you for that information. However I'm still trying to find out as much as I can. David

I put this sword in the NY shinsa and it scored 75points. But still can't find anything about him David

The difference between a ignorant person and an enlightened person is: The enlightened person knows he is ignorant, but keeps his mouth shut about it. David

A friend of mine has a contemporary piece signed Bizen Yokoyama Suketada. It has old, 1981 NBTHK papers. He is listed in Hawley's, as is Sukeharu. Both are listed around the same: C1868. David

I was wondering if anyone knows the pass rate for swords in this shinsa? David

Every day mind is the way. everything is as it should be. David

This is purely hearsay. I was told the reason so many " unworthy " swords were going Juyo, was something to do with the NBTHK asking for " Donations " for Juyo submissions. David

Nice little package. Whether or not it's gimei, you have to research. It comes down to how much you paid, against, how much YOU like it David
