  4. Hi guys, got a small issue. i have already paid my gst/vax with jauce. now DHL are holding my item until i pay them duty and gst. i told them i have already paid and have proff and they dont care and say until i pay them they wont release the item. got any advice apart from yelling? regards Hamish
  5. its abit annoying that the mekugi ana was put through the mei, and the habaki is catching my eye for the wrong reason. iv owned yasukunito but never a imperial gift sword but i would expect something better formed. maybe the original was damaged or lost and new one was made??
  6. Ubu, imho is always a valuable point. original shape is important. but honestly i should be talking at this table as im just a peasant compared to the educated peaple talking
  7. Im not sure you realise how much this journey will cost you or how long it will take. Head to the DTI and search the dealers
  8. i think its a cool hunk of rust, ill bid
  9. Minamoto Kiyomaro Monshita Highest Rank Craftsman Nobuhide Kurihara Nobuhide Outstanding Dagger Special Precious Sword Certificate New Sword Upper Work Superb Edo Period > Sword Ken Sword Masao Yamaura Natsuo Kano | Jauce Shopping Service | Yahoo Japan Auctions. eBay Japan nice looking tanto, good hataraki but who would have done it?? a student, a faked mei,
  10. sweet lord thats a nice book
  11. that yukihide is stunning
  12. Think its representing the crescent 🌙 moon.
  13. Im taking the piss Jussi. It should be treated with enormous suspension
  14. Hi guys.... Let me start at the start of the beginning. I was happily have a scotch or 2, and noticed this rather old and rough looking box. Ignoring the newly made sword box i was meant to buy i instead went with what the scotch told me to do and got this instead. I really hope it says what i hope it says. Please give me confirmation

  16. thats the good thing about this forum, diffenent eyes have different opionions and are all good points
  17. the smith is the tosogu class room books, I was looking in the wrong area, Hes was a very small mention. the iron looks very nice, considering the location near some known sword production area thes the iron should be good its appearance/ symbols are my next study job. but a assume there pottery related?
  18. thanks matt, ill try looking again
  19. good morning fellow members, i have a tsuba mei i cant find in my tosogu class room books, so im assuming its either wrong or not recorded. could you please DOUBLE CHECK the mei. kind regards H
  20. its a different shape due to wear and tear, contact/ dragged along the ground etc. the sword, ill leave the hizen guys to comment. and i would discribe this as a early type 98, the type 94's have a more tachi like sori at the tsuba/habaki area to F/G's book, there good but they sometimes get it wrong. im a personal friend of one of the contributors of all the F/G books and does dissagree with some of the things written. Dawsons has surpassed them as the bible of IJ swords and information just my 10 cents worth
  21. Yagyu. Later gen Pftt face palm. Just seen the above post
  22. Reads, Drexel was here. Added by the skilled hands of a con artist
