Swords

I think it’s a tachi sword do to it length and curve

Can anyone tell me why people are bidding so high for this sword It’s not signed although it looks older And has cosmoline left on it How can you determine what condition the blade is It’s 2795 and still bidding according to the seller The sword is 29" long and in the scabbard is 39"

Can I get help with translation please I thought it was Nagamitsu but maybe not Thanks

He had a older navy short sword I was interested in and wanted 3400 you got to be kidding

You are right His prices are high I questioned the price of a old unsigned Kai Gunto and wanted 2690 probably around 2000 would be a reasonable price

Let me change my comment Because he’s not a reliable doesn’t mean his swords are no good ?

Interesting I do appreciate the feedback back It’s probably not a good place to buy a sword

Dose anyone know about this seller? He has a sword store in Japan With many swords To me it looks legit Here one of his most expensive ones Steve

Thanks guys for your help

Guilty as charged Brian

Can anyone else please help with the translation 😊 thank you

Any help with translation would be appreciated

Thanks Ray I would’ve guessed a Showa to

Any help with this translation is appreciated

Good point Brian As I said earlier there was another known smith Every one thought maybe the seller wouldn’t find out but he did or the ones who knew kept bidding higher

Good point When I thought about that too In that case he said there were alot of people who were interested than he took it down Your right it could have come from our forum There was another case a while back who was a well known smith can’t remember the name The seller had no idea what he had People on the forum were discussing it Than it sold for a good sum

Thanks Rawa It’s good to hear a positive rather than all the negatives

I find it interesting that Derek’s can’t tell the difference between a Gendaitō or Koto sword lol As I already said a lot of my questions were about signatures which even experienced people have difficulty with But I admit I posted many questions about swords I’m guilty as charged ! I will limited my questions and try to help others Brian I didn’t get the yasukuni The seller removed it after he found out what he had Anyway peace ☮️ and kindness our country needs it! Steve

Don’t give a crap what you think Do me a favor stay off my thread Nobody likes a person who is cantankerous

Rivken is right the blade is signed Soshu Ju Masamune. It is a fake signature.

Thanks Rivken No need to apologize I misunderstood about becoming gold member to help the forum I would be honored Brian When necessary What makes you think I don’t want to contribute Seriously !! You know nothing about me!I And I don’t appreciate your negative comments about me

I appreciate the comment of being a gold member but I feel I still have a lot to learn And find time to read more I agree with it being Muromachi Bizen era The translation is my weakness This ChatGPT would save alot of time if I can figure out how to use it My daughters would help their more computer savvy Great info guys Thanks for sharing Any other opinions on which signature ? I agree with Brian we should contribute more We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him Steve

If you’re tired of reading my post than don’t read them! The purpose of the forum is a learning tool for everyone but I do admit getting away lately And I do contribute and plan on contributing more to Brian as we should all

This one caught my eye It older maybe Later 1500 just a guess by shape of the blade I’m moving got my books packed up so cannot reference my books Any help would be appreciated

I will give it a go 😊 thanks
