Swords

Ok Since I’m desperate for money so I’m knocking off another 300.00 2500 to 2200 + 50.00 shipping there’s nothing wrong with sword !! Other than it’s a Nice Bizen Sword by Sukesada in Excellent Condition with custom mint custom Navy Scabbard and hardware include Navy tassel which has some fraying how ever the 2 tassels are fine

I was surprised only 5th seat when he was listed in John slough as special honor seat But it’s good to know Your so right about being judged by its own merit did you see my noshu taniguchi after polish Check it out! That was only 5th seat Thanks again for everyone s feedback

Not sure what that means

I would be interested but better asap

Did you read what I said ? is special honor seat higher than 1st seat !

I need help with the meaning for this sword I don’t hav Book of Hawley and if anyone can elaborate about this sword as quoted Akihide Special honor seat at the 6th exhibition seat Hawley reference AK144 TOKO Taiwan rated 1 million yen Rated Joko saku Akihide Special honor seat Dose it mean it’s higher than 1st seat? I copied a page from book of John Slough since I don’t have Hawley book It the 1st sentence top left 6th Shinsaku Nihontō Denrankai (新作日本刀展覧会, 1941) Hawley's reference: AKI44 Toko Taikan rated ¥1Million Rated : Jojo saku (Akihide), Special Honor Seat at the 6th Shinsaku Nihontō Denrankai (新作日本刀展覧会, 1941) Signed : Akihisa Dated : 1941 Hawley's reference: AKI44 Toko Taikan rated ¥1Million Rated : Jojo saku AKIHISA (昭久), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Niigata – “Hokutsu-jū Yamagami Senri Akihisa” (北越住山上千里 昭 久), “Akihisa” (昭久), real name Yamagami Jūji (山上重次), born November 15th 1910, he studied under Kasaka Ikkansai Shigetsugu (笠間一貫斎繁継), he became independent in 1934 and lived in Nishiyama-chō (西山町) in Niigata Prefecture, he worked as a rikugun-jumei-tōshō, kihin-jōi (Akihide), Special Honor Seat at the 6th Shinsaku Nihontō Denrankai (新作日本刀展覧会, 1941)

Thanks you guys for all your feedback I just want to finish With this last question Is The info under the black box correct for this sword? Also the date when was it made ? Naminohira made swords since the earlier 1300 or around about. That said when was this one produced This was what I was trying to convey

Can you elaborate about hamon and hada are encouraging?

Hi no signature from what I know this sword. Did not hav one how ever if it was signed it wore off over time Thais I why I wanted others to chime in I made the mistake of putting the description showing its 650 years old ! Namihira had been around A while I did get info by Some one who’s well known in the sword arena he said Tensho was a decent time for sword production, Momoyama (plum Mountain) period, 1573-1596. Your sword is later Muromachi, perhaps even Momoyama, My opinion is it’s probably 4 - 500 years old Anyway I’m getting it polished and excited to see how it turns out It’s 27 inches I did research for Naminohira as follows I believe that these swords are rare according the information I found Yes I will definitely send pictures after The polisher is well known and dose excellent work I hav to wait a long long time but it’s well worth it

Thanks for your support yes I will consider any offers

I agree Thanks Brian

Price of sword is now 2500 plus 50.00 shipping I thought by lowering it would get some interest I paid 2700 for a 500 year old Bizen sword in polish by Sukesada in custom navy mounts to me is a good price

Maybe should raise the price rather than lowering it which I may do

Thanks I will ask I probably shouldn’t hav added info

Hi I’m looking to get information about this sword

If you read that I said too disregard that description it wasn’t for that sword I don’t think it’s 650 years old and I I don’t hav a NBTHK cert Koto Naminohira Made swords different times I’m trying to pin point when mine was made

I posted this sword because I thought someone on the forum could give me more info about this sword ! I think it’s A Koto Naminohira ?? I don’t know old it Is or did they make good swords ? I getting it polished because I think it’s a rare sword plus 27 inches blade Any help is greatly appreciated I already Know it’s a Amateur polish but still think it’s a worthy venture

Hi I decided to throw in a bonus of free shipping!! I need money for another sword ! Any questions I will try and answer but who wouldn’t wand a 500 year old Bizen sword made be Sukesada with custom mounts in polish

Dan if you’re still interested I will send you pictures let me know again what you wanted I gave up using the forum because I was never able to get logged in Brian had to reset my password Sorry for not getting back sooner I reduced the price 700.00 off the original not counting shipping and tax

Hi Dan I sorry I haven’t got back to you Ive been having issues trying to use the forum Finally Brian had to reset my password Anyway I still have this sword If your still interested in purchasing I steve

I was hoping to get some information about this sword its age who made it or anything thing positive hopefully a reputable polisher can help bring it back what it originally once was

That’s ok I’m getting it polished by a reputable person

Please disregard the description on top I think it’s wrong I added the one on the bottom because it’s what I got when I bought this sword
