37 more fakes out there

nagoya mino imho

well with alllllll the conversation and imput you received with your last sale attempt, you didnt seem to take any onboard. its nice, dont get me wrong but still top end for a oil quenched sword. it was posted for along time and didnt sell, so why not change your approach. either better photos, different pricing etc. but you should change your approach because when things cant sell, they attract a unfair stigma and no bodys wants that for anyone. sit down, re approach the sword, set up a good back ground and new photos. make a sales page so attractive it begs IJA guys to want it, dont just rehash old pics and expect a different outcome from the same failed attempts from the past. for example, same stome different lighting. one looks ok, the other looks so good you must buy it

its back

it should be retiltied to the POST THAT SHOULD NOT EXIST

Stop hijacking my thread with pointless bickering. Post sweet minty gunto or go to the iz

i would say genuine but painted a nice house gloss black. so you can be a ninja

those who have, and those who have not..... but i feel some peaple paid well above the market values or evan ginza values

Its not a replica. Its not evan close. Its just utter china crap

To his defence its a tricky suriage if your not experienced. Neither side appears to been ground down and both Hi are symmetrical. Its just the nakago mune that is the show. And honestly i wouldnt be surprised if it was a sumitoshi

If shoshin a bargain

hey guy, not buying, and dont believe the bs story. but dam those mounts loos pristine like the most mint iv ever seen. bloody shame they moded the tsuba to fit he blade Army General Shizuichi Tanaka's possession of "Bichuku Aoe Sadaji" Representative worker of the Aoe faction in the Northern and Southern Dynasties Honamimitsu Supplementary Letter Historical Famous Sword Superb Type 98 Army Military Sword Attached with Sword Box | Jauce Shopping Service | Yahoo Japan Auctions. eBay Japan

dont evan bother at any prrice. for 1 ist beyond economic repair, 2 the tsuka has 3 holes, so peaple have been drilling to extra mekugi " bad sign of a miss match. the bent D guard will have concerns tha could following onto the backstrap. its a solf alloy so stretching/ deforming could occur and as a hole its is relic condion. heaps better to choose from in Japan

well this turned to some weird shitfight quickly. i thought it was good to see a odd ball from a master smith. lets us all know theres always a exception to the rule

never would have thought kymaro

whos the smith?

i though he was 1st gen, i ammend my answer to the above

kanemoto first gen

DANG

Its 100% correct or ichihara nagamitsu. He was a very prolific smith with a wide range on quality for a gendai smith. So don't stress its genuine

i would suggest shinshinto

its a very obvious fake, shitfull quality

All junk. Bin jobs

oh wow i was way off, thanks but im so ashamed i mucked it up so badly.

proof im not a lazy person
