  1. It’s a very nice large and heavy blade with a large chogi hamon. I have attached what I have found along with a few pics, though the blade needs a fresh polish
  2. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it. Thank you
  3. Thank you! Excellent idea and I’m grateful for the reminder
  4. Hello here is my post on another thread about thinking this may be Heianjo Masatoshi but open to suggestions if any at all, thank you in advance
  5. From Markus Shinto Meikan
  6. Here is a large katana I own, signed as you see. Any ideas on the mei would be welcome. My initial thought was Heianjo Ju Masatoshi based SOLELY on the last kanji you can just make out that is large compared to the rest. Very large hamon as well. Thank you for your input in advance for my research. Nagasa is 68.5 and has a large machi okuri done to it (cruddy last picture)
  7. This a pic I posted a while back on a different thread. It does show the hamon and somewhat the boshi. I rotated the picture to show better, I believe.
  8. Thank you. I’m not sure how to know that information. You are saying it could not be a wak at all? Interesting for sure
  9. Hi again to you who have time to answer: when you see a wakizashi, like this one attached, that is 53cm Nagasa and a nakago as seen, can you assume only machi okuri, or maybe suriage. If the later, could it have been a short katana? Just wondering on thoughts about these long waki. Regards and thanks
  10. Thank you for the replies. I don’t see any turn back. See attached newer pictures
  11. Hello to all the friends here, I was inquiring as to what to call this boshi form from a wakizashi I own, signed Masahiro. Regards to you all, and thanks in advance
  12. It look like it’s one of the pieces used for retention of the scabbard to the handle.
  13. Hi, idk if this may help but one of the other pronounciations of Ichi is Kazu, I think. so in this case if you are correct on your assessment of the first kanji it may be rendered as Kikazu regards
  14. I’m interested if you want to part with it. thanks
  15. Ok that makes sense for this one above but the tweezer version…?? Maybe same way?
  16. So we assume the cord cylinder is what is being used as the Mekugi? Thank you
  17. Good day to you all, how do these koshirae fittings fit together and disassemble? Any input would be appreciated for my understanding. Thank you
  18. That one is in pretty bad shape, and the koshirae isn’t great either. Wait and find better
  19. Thank you for that correction
  20. Unshu Yamagata Ju Fujiwara is the mei
