  1. Im guessing shenanigans here - I need to learn Japanese or get a translation program
  2. Thanks @Bruce Pennington Im going to pass on this piece. Too many questions. Jesse
  3. attached @Bruce Pennington - best i got
  4. @Bruce Pennington you are right! pasted it
  5. another shot @Bruce Pennington
  6. This is an arsenal mark but I dont recognize it
  7. another one. Whats the stamp on the tang for? Chinese reproduction blade?
  8. tack on listing charge, shipping charge to Jauce, bank fee and shipping to your home, likely will go over $1000
  9. I finally figured out how to get the URL for it after the auction ended. Hope this works and wasnt just my cache https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/95105915_antique-Japanese-katana-samurai-sword
  10. Gah! Thought I finally had something useful/new to share on NMB Dale!
  11. Thanks Jean and Steve! I was wondering why the menuki was so low on the Tsuka, seems it should have been up higher where the eelskin has a tear? I havent been notified that the other bidder has finally quit, they sent a final email to her/him on Friday Ill ask for a picture of that too! Jesse

  13. Hi Bob. Correct! It is one and the same. With Choshu Ju being all that we have been able to decipher. Whats your take on it? I LOVE the Fuchi Kashira. Thats what drew me to it.
  14. Great point Jean! Rest of the Koshirae
  15. Thanks Steve and Jean. Just want to make sure I am not purchasing a frankenstein setup!
  16. Interested in the board take on this one - the scabbard is gold which doesnt match the Katana and the Tsuba is a Wak or Tanto Tsuba - unless I am wrong. Do Katana ever get fitted with Tsuba that only have one Hitsuana?
  17. Interesting it has the same Fuchi as the ones above...
  18. Thanks Bruce! Here is a link to the auction for the sword in question https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/96591595_possibly-wwii-army-officer-Japanese-shin-gunto-sword
  19. Heck yea! Beautiful!
  20. that cannonball looks a LOT different than mine
  21. example of a legit chiseling
  22. my takeaway on this is getting to be that any that have those little tick marks that are smooth (obviously not made by a chisel) around the nakago-ana its a cast fake. they are too round and machine made. Is that a gross overstatement?
  23. You need to change your screen name to Matlock
  24. I too was curious about the ategane/ume. Like it is a bead or something!
  25. Dale and I were having a good time early today chatting about fake Tsuba at auction. Check out these pictures and post if one is fake, and if so, what is the giveaway. These sold for $350
