    dosnt the kiri mon belong to the tokugawa?? or did it have a common use before Ieyasu
  8. lonely panet
    agrees with john, steve and ray. very common semi machine made blades made to fill the huge demand of the kyu gunto range. with habaki ,it would make a great iai piece

    Hi Guys hope were all travelling well? just got a little tanto tsuba that i think is ko kinko, but im for some extra conformation. YAMAGANE with signs of urushi and stamps, but the stamps are whats making me think twice of the age. to me, they dont really fit for the ko kinko time frame in there motif, in my opionion please tell me your opinions

    Hmmmmm. You dont see that type of german sword with early meiji goverment acceptance stamps very often

    thanks for the answering, and yes it is a very nice set.

    that is also my understanding when this model was been refurbished. they even replaced the leather seppa with metal ones. IMHO I think the removal of the finger loop was due to change in warfare, "IE" how many cavalry charges or mounted attaches took place at the start of ww2.

    silly question about the subject matter please?? Akechi Mitsuhide was responsible for Odas' death directly so why would they put both there mons together after the incident?? don't want to distract from the sale, if it does please delete
  14. lonely panet
    sale price was $1500 USD. I think that was a bargin for the condition
  15. lonely panet
    don't hold your breath for a bargin, IMHO this will prob end up between 2 to 3k USD

    if you don't know what KO and OTSU, they refer the 2 variations in the model of type 32 or AKA 1899 troopers sword. KO- was issued to the cavalry and had a blade of approx. 32 inches depending on how much sharpening has occurred. also they have a very small thin drag on the end of the saya. OTSU- was issued to almost every branch in the military and has a blade of approx. 30 inches and has a very notably heaver drag on the saya. hope this helps

    Make sure the leather finger loop is in good condition and looked after. edit, phone crashed as I wrote this type 32s are the longest serving model of the IJA approx. 1899 to 1945

  23. lonely panet
    is there a NA (Nagoya) under the first character ??
  24. lonely panet
    at first glance I thought the star had been badly stamped, but after a harder look Edward has pointed it that it appears to could have be a showa stamped over. very interesting now theres some much clearer photos to look at
  25. lonely panet
