    Apologies I don't have anything set up to take good photos at the moment but here are a few I was taking earlier. @Surfson

    Wonder if the star on that is super tiny like mine. I know they didn't always have the star but mine was so small I barely saw it
  5. Lareon
    Nah nothing. Just 3 little circular indents. No markings on this one

    Picked this up today from Ian Chapman at the Birmingham arms fare. It's an unwanted item from a museum donation from an ex collectors estate. Looks to be a brand new tsuka in mint condition. Wrapped and stitched completely in cloth. I haven't and won't be unwrapping it but wanted to share with everyone. Original "packaging" ?

    I didn't give the mei too much credence so didn't even notice it was on the wrong side! I will most likely leave it all as is as I don't think I'd spend any money on it. Something about the blade though brings me back to look at it though. I think it's the dual effect of the hamon. I can't tell if it's interesting due to feeling off though!

    Hi all. I have a blade that I got as a gift from someone who thought of me. It came in 50% junk mounts. When I took it out to look at it and exposed the nakago I thought the mei was made using a Dremel and looked really crudely done, but now I'm not so sure, I keep having a 2nd look. Is that date even complete? The hamon looks interesting but I swear I can see a second hamon underneath it. There seems to be a lot of activity in the metal too.

    Genuine tsuba?

    It's hard to tell if the gold colours are two separate colours or the gold is worn.

    The tinyest star stamp I've ever seen

    Genuine tsuba?

    Lareon replied to Lareon's topic in Tosogu

    I've tried to identify casting pits or seams. I was checking to see if the copper had been painted on but thought I'd ask here as I'll never be sure on my uneducated answer to my own question if I don't.

    I must plead my ignorance to tsuba but I have one that to my untrained eye looks attractive. just wondering if it is genuine?

    A touch of staining around the end of the blade. The hamon is bright and clear. No damage I can see. A few scratches
  18. Lareon
    Typical type 3 fittings. Heavy Metal saya with dust guard throat.

    Well I'll move onto the next one for now but still revisit anything anyone wants too see or know about this one

    I will start my own thread about this as things progress. I posted my appeal letter today so will get a reply within 15 days now. When I get an update I'll make a thread and can go through the process. Maybe there are some things I did wrong that I don't know about or maybe they're over zealous but I shall find out and it will hopefully be of benefit to the community.

    If people want I can take measurements. Sori etc.
  22. Lareon
    Almost no curve to this

    The blade is quite scratched up so photos are hard but looks like choji now
  25. Lareon
    Heavy pitting on the blade. Hard to photo the hamon. Struggling but looks like a horsetooth hamon.
