    Two Tachi both NBTHK papered to Morishige mid to late Nanboku-cho One is longer and thicker.

    I'm not debating just stating what it's papered to. You are free to disagree with the paper. It's papered to a specific smith and not a school so convention would dictate it would match his recognized working period. I am not knowledgeable enough to argue one way or the other.

    It's the same on either side. Not exactly sure what this one is. They are oversized

    Sorry for the poor photos. I just got it. It's really a beefy blade for it's age. It was recently polished and papered.

    Thank you very much , I am just trying to learn and hearing all comments were of a great help to me. I'm sure it would be more helpful to have the piece in hand when trying to determine who made it. I have to stick a scope down the Tehen yet to see if it is signed. Again thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    Yes I think so ! To me there is a difference between seeing a gimei on a lesser work or trying to determine if a signature on a good work is shoshin. Time will tell on the good work so it's not necessary to rush to a decision. I see sayagaki on swords by Mr. Tanobe where he States that the group called it X because a consensus could not be reached on Y frequently

    That's great news ! Thank you for your help.

    This falls under hidden weapons , this Soukou-toku were used by Edo police. Samurai were responsible for the police so due to the Mon on this one it may have belonged to a Samurai. This was filled with a combination of irritating powders including peppers. It was carried around the neck by a string and blown into the face of an opponent to temporarily blind them via a mouth oiece.This one still contains some of the powder.
