  6. Hi John, Outstanding collection and beautiful swords my friend. Regards, Antonio Vázquez, PE
  7. Hi Chris, I believe the blade is traditional made blade also, with a nice nie. I'm posting closer photos so you can see the work at the boshi area.
  8. Dave, Thank you, is a nice blade and is definitely keeping me busy with the research to whom might be the maker. Base on the feedback I have received the blade was made during Taisho to early Showa period. Another smith I'm researching is Ueno Naohiro a swordsmith in Musashi province and son of Naomichi. Regards,
  9. Bradley, Thank you! Dave, I don't know what happen to the previous set of photos but I will post them now. Regards,
  10. Chris, Thank you for the feedback my friend. Is definitely a unique piece of history having one with gunome hamon. I also have an inclination toward Minamoto Yoshichika being the maker of the sword since he worked primarily in the Bizen-den gunome choji style and supposed to have made swords of western rolled steel,. Also the finish on the nakago being more refine (file-marks) looks more like Yoshichika instead of a Murata-To base on ohmura-study. Regards,
  11. John, My friend thank you for the information. I do have one question regarding the hamon pattern on the Murata-To, basically all the ones I have encounters are seguha, in your experience is the gunome pattern (see attachment) on my sword is common to? Thank you,
  12. Hi, I started doing some research on what appears to be in the beginning a Army Kyu- Gunto sword non-traditionally made blade. A good friend mentioned that a Murata-to is a specific kind of non-traditionally made blade. Unless the blade specifically says it’s a Murata-to, there is no way to know with certainty how exactly it was made, thus, whether or not it is a Murata-to. Does anyone know what kind of sword these is? Thank you again and I truly appreciate any help that can be provided.

  14. Grant, Is the Ikeda Tatsuo Shinsakuto still available? Thank you,
