  1. Hi all, any thoughts on the below gunto sword? It seems to come from a questionable seller- some have reported good deals from this seller on ebay and others have reported bad deals. my initial thoughts- blade is in poor polish- some surface rust throughout. There also looks to be corrosion on the fittings?
  2. I will try and post here
  3. Hey all, Can anyone tell me about this gunto sword? Seller claims it is original, but the tsuka and tassel look fresh to me. The hamon is also very active. Thoughts? thanks!
  4. Here is the link to David’s store. This is where I bought it from- he has much better pictures on here… https://www.raindragonfineartandantiques.com/product-page/long-sword-katana-by-sukekuni
  5. Drop again to $2200 (USD). This is an absolute steal for this blade. With that being said- will still consider reasonable offers from NMB members
  6. Final price drop to $2350 shipped obo.
  7. Looking to sell this shinto katana. My asking price is $2700 USD and Im in no hurry to sell. It has NTHK papers and is signed Kishu Ju Sukekuni. The sword comes in shirasaya and is in good polish. Has been oiled and is well taken care of. Minor flaws are pictured. Will consider reasonable offers from US buyers. Also interested in trading for papered koto blades- wakizashi or katana. I would like cash on my end for the deal but show me what you have!
  8. Perfect. Thank you both!!
  9. Hey all, I have a late edo saya- it is gorgeous, however, the bottom is splintering and cracking as it is old. Is there a way to restore it? Or anyone that would be able to? (dont trust myself) One of my friends (who isn’t a nihonto enthusiast) suggested that I GLUE it. I gasped at the thought of it. Ha.
  10. Sold! Tassel is still available. Lowering price to $200 USD obo
  11. Created a google drive with the pictures for those interested. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cYj1vllIP0oTqLhJ7iKBecOVVJ6ijC1j
  12. What is your email? I am still having trouble attaching here.
  13. I will try and post more here. Have sent some via email to those who requested. Note, this sword is still available!
  14. Per Japanese sword index he is rated Chu Saku. (Medium made). Not superior quality, but a decent blade nonetheless
  15. Please PM for additional pictures (unless anyone has any idea to get past the file size limit)
  16. WWII Gunto sword. In decent shape signed by Sato Yukihira. This sword comes from the Seki prefecture and was made in 1942(ish) - My guess, feel free to chime in. Comes with type 98 koshirae also in decent shape. Some corrosion and rust spots on the tsuba and seppa. Tassel is period original, but certainly not original to the sword. Please feel free to ask any questions. Asking $1600 but will consider offers and will sell the sword without the tassel for $1300 obo. 5-10% of this sale will be donated back to NMB
  17. Nice haul and great pieces! Wish I loved closer to Chicago. I will have to fly in and go to the show some day!
  18. Anyone have any idea on how much a set like this would typically run for? Pics arent great, so I apologize. I am completely new to armor but want to have a cheaper/lower end set in my collection. Any dealers that specialize in antique armor either? Thanks all!
