  1. I'm not disagreeing with you Raymond but I am saying that when held in hand in person doesn t seem to be altered. But I'm not a professional so can't say for sure you may be right. I tried to take the habaki off with a hammer carefully didn't budge chris.
  2. Yes I understand jp, its in bad shape at the moment but will try to fix it up one waynor another. I pretty much got it for nothing only reason I bought it. Im.going to try to get a better shot of it so you guys can see the hamon.
  3. The habaki is stuck tried taking it off but won't budge. Any ideas?
  4. It's definitely real, you can see the the hamon at certain angles when very bright. I also think it's Shinto period blade. But can't say that geometry has been altered it does look like that in the pictures but when looking at it in person it's even I think that's because if the rust patches on the sword makes it look that way
  5. Bought this from someone that bought it from a old lady in England. Rough shape but looks nice for some reason hmmm, some places near the tang you can see Togari hamon and in center of sword switches to gunome. Habaki is stuck guess No one really cared for the sword. I like it what do you guys think? Some pics I brightened up.
  6. Here are some more pics chris..
  7. It's not fake news Tom, there are a lot of articles on this and couple videos on YouTube. Just an article wasn't put up for people to argue about it.

  12. Yes i thought that the same, but they do have some very nice pieces. Just don't know if Russia is allowed to ship swords to America. They have a beautiful tanto in high end koshirae pretty cheap, along with couple other nice things.

  14. That's what I'm saying john.
  15. Try gorilla glue I know I would.
  16. Nothing astonishing about it, you have your opinion I have mine. What's astonishing is how you don't see the similiarties in the script. After shinsha will update
  17. Yes your right this is 2nd generation I was thinking it is 3rd generation. 2nd gen didn't sign as masatsugu. I'll have shinsha look at it and will update you. Still very confident this mei is legit.
  18. Possibility but I think John was right some cool cleaned it.
  19. I maybe wrong but I'm still waiting to pick the sword up from auction so can't be so sure.
