What's happening to Gendai market?
lonely panet replied to IJASWORDS's topic in Military Swords of Japan
imho, military collectors require mint mounts to move there money hahahahha, gendai collectors are happy to have good gendai in shirasaya. then there are the middle road smiths that are good by gendai ratings but are in average mounts and just dont appeal to either camps. I HAVE sold many goood gendai for fair prices but have sold mint navy showato for more. its a tricky field, still cant beleive daves gens tassels are still for sale. -
Plimpton Swords Going to Auction

i would bet money on it

OK, ill stick my head above the pillbox. altho i have never studied this smiths work in hand i have a few issues i would like to raise. firstly the nakagos finished like kawamura Kanenage, yet this smith mei reads watanbe Kanenaga. the mei is alarming and incorrect for this smith signed Noshu Seki. i would say it strongly suggests gimei, but OR COULD be a students work as the mei is rough as guts
