    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

    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.
