  1. Give Andrew and call. He straightened a gendai for me years ago Far worse than that
  2. Hate to trip over in that room during a blackout
  3. Mei looks like kotani Yasunori. Sad the mei is so degraded. Whats the blades condition?? I had one similar condition and sold it to ray.
  4. i sold sword into the UK, a few years ago and customs was very difficult. it was returned twice, and from what iv heard there only more radical now. so i can completely understand why colin donst want the hassle. but the kanenaga tanto was making my toes tingle abit
  5. hamons a big give away, unless hes was drunk on the that day
  6. 刀 KATANA Antique Japanese Long Sword 63.7cm Signed 祐永 Sukenaga , NBTHK Paper | eBay what say you guys?? i gimei?
  7. Just check ebay. Few know dealers there . Show the hamon please. The should show some direction
  8. Pics of the kanenaga tanto??
  9. acid polish, huge umegane, nakago patina modified etc etc. is it modern?
  10. thats a very poorly cut mei for nagamistu?? i would be very suspiscoius about the areas that cleaned area.
  11. i dont have good feelings about this piece, and im sure a few other members are thinking what im thinnking. the koshirae isnt 100% original, the tsuka has a different age to the leather. The placement of the mekugi is very odd. but more importantly the blade has a modern feel to it. the mei is a given writeoff as fake. but that hamon is funny looking.
  12. the great and powerful bazz has spoken, the wizzard of ozz joka aside. Barry has a very very good point. hes got 50 plus years of experience in collecting behind his words. Hi Barry, hows life going
  13. nothing to look twice at.
  14. You turned down a good offer to list it on flebay at less then $1. Big gamble
  15. If its a run of the mill nagamitsu or emura. Then its a equal sum game. If its a mumei gendai its not worth the cost of restoration. Not even to mention the shirasaya or restoration of the gunto koshirae 3k to send easy
  16. All i see is a money pit of junk
  17. Sorry to say its a shin "fake" gunto
  18. Im not getting a kizu-uchi feeling. Looks like it has promise
  19. Well that undermines the sales page here😄
  20. Crabclaw is the style of hamon. Could be gunome in there too. Its got a bizen style nakago and sakizori. A very nicely shaped katateuchi.. . I would say its definitely osafune bizen school. Dates approx 1500s. Iv attended a oshigata of something i to compare
  21. The mei is very far off any sort of quality you see in bizen stuff. They are well known for long, neat, attractive well cut mei. Its ubu so the mei should be intact So the potential for a later gimei is likely. Crabclaw is commonly associated with sukesada group
  22. Stop digging your own grave hahahaha. You will receive no, and i mean no encouraging words from members here about trying what you think is ok
  23. If you got alot of disposable money, like your a billionaire. Go for it. Just make sure no one's going touch or handle it disrespectfully. . And it won't devalue. After all its your money, or choice. Ps if you are a billionaire, you could hire me to help you travel the globe in the hunt
