Swords

If found signatures and did a comparison Im know expert but to me it doesn’t match

Thanks guys I did some digging and dose day high class tamahagane read what I found to me looks promising? Special feature : Bisyu Osafune Munemitsu was a second son of the Rokuro zaemon Sukemitsu and moved around Japan with his his older brother Katsumitsu. Even though the signature is Bisyu mei but at that period all the swords were made by high rclass Tamahagane(Japanese iron) so the blade is very nice Jigane and Hamon. Akso beautiful wonderful engraving on the Ji. I think the blade was used by religious ceremony or high ranking Samurai.

I read about another sword that is a kanbun and it’s not as curved Anyway Provided it’s a kanbun sword I was thinking of getting it polished than I would hav 2100 into it but would a be beautiful Sword My next question is it worth 2100 after polish?

Thanks Ray I’m thinking of having it polish but I hear negative stuff about this dealer and want to be sure iAlso is this smith known for making decent sword other than the wrong signature And because of the engraving I would think it’s more rare and adds more value ? komonjo if the dealer Any added information would be greatly appreciate since I don’t to lose money

Hi everyone here’s a interesting sword with engraved Any one hav info to add about it

Hi I want to get some opinions about this sword When it was made period were they made well

There’s another sword just like this one on the forum but has a Showa stamp where this one doesn’t hav one ? Did Nōshū jū Kanemasa make both traditional and Arsenal or were some not stamped?

Dose anyone know if this is a traditional made The engraving is cut well other than that jussi at least we know who you he smith is

I change the price to 2000-3000

And please don’t remind me about Koto I think you’re right about the drugs nothing I can do about that I’m a disabled veteran so I’ll leave that for another day

Those are great pictures thanks it’s too bad how these swords are being miss represented and good luck sending it back to Japan really want a Navy sword anyway Seems next to impossible to find a nice one

Ok according to the seller of this sword as quoted its is a Gendaito, but not a recent production. I think it's been about 100 years But now I hear it’s not ! I asked if anyone knows about this smith maybe it would help

You are pictures right another one bites the dust

Don’t know what I was thinking I own a koto Naminohira sword Now I feel like an idiot yes showa most liked arsonal with know stamp But they were not always stamped I think possibly Gendaito???

I was afraid it was Showa era, 1926 to 1989, now whether it’s Gendaito or not

Hi can I get info with this sword How old or what era I’m thinking koto but not sure the hamon looks decent I was concerned if there are scratches or something else like openings) Also is said to be Gendaito Any information would be helpful Anyone know about This dealer Tokyo express deli

Thanks can’t figure if it’s arsenal or traditional No stamp

I would like to know the hundreds of dealers your talking about on google I must be looking in the wrong places And always like how other chime in agreement with You How many books has he read?

Any one help with the translation of this kanji

Yes Agree probably shouldn’t use the word good I should read more how ever I have a couple of books and been buying and selling swords for 7 years so I at least have the basics I know these older long swords by known smith from good school holds value provided it’s condition ! I figure it would help to get feed back from more experienced persons would be helpful !I don’t want to make a huge mistake! I wish there were places to buy swords other than EBay ! Pickens are slim on the forum and some dealers want way too much If I can find a nice traditional navy with out any issue for a fair price I would be a happy camper Thanks

I’m looking for information and is this sword what it’s said and a a good sword The hamon is weak not crazy about the menuki and fuchi also strapless Tsuba with out strap but that’s me maybe a little bit picky

Looking for A WW2 Japanese officer navy Gendaito in excellent Condition price range 2000-2500 Thank you

Bruce sorry not getting back sooner I hav a picture above of the w and tool stamp small square by the w of that is what you meant?
