    tack on listing charge, shipping charge to Jauce, bank fee and shipping to your home, likely will go over $1000

    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

    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

    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. Infinite_Wisdumb
    Great point Jean! Rest of the Koshirae

    Thanks Steve and Jean. Just want to make sure I am not purchasing a frankenstein setup!

    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?

    Interesting it has the same Fuchi as the ones above...

    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

    Heck yea! Beautiful!

    that cannonball looks a LOT different than mine

    example of a legit chiseling
  22. Infinite_Wisdumb
    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?

    You need to change your screen name to Matlock

    I too was curious about the ategane/ume. Like it is a bead or something!

    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
