    Samurai Auction In Oktober

    uwe replied to tom's topic in Katchu

    Yep Tom. The "Ott collection". Contained very nice items! High quality and valuable things amongst! Unfortunately at auction (ca. 25% + )

    That reminds me of a do-maru gusoku handed over to H. Dirksen once ( recently sold at an auction in France). Sorry for being off topic....

    First time for me also! But it wasn't done yesterday. Those old cheaters.....

    I agree Ian. The bowl shows some age. Lets see, if we can get more pics...

    Ian, can't remember to saw such a koshimaki on an suji bachi. The shikoro is damaged but real while I'm not sure about the helmet itself. Looks very odd to me.

    Shinshinto?

    uwe replied to ice-hot's topic in Nihonto

    Shape maybe leading towards "Kanbun". I think however "Shin-Shinto" (or younger)!

    Echo that! USPS/DHL works. But beware of the import sales tax 19%, plus charge...

    Rob, like Steve and Justin pointed out. Almost impossible to assign the mon to a certain family. Can't also find a match, but I think it's called "Sumikiri-kaku ni Tsuta".

    Some interesting pieces amongst the stuff! Thanks for announcing Uwe.

    Hi John,yes he do. He polished some of mine years ago!

    It's tricky, but I think "Toshimune"!

    You can ask Zenon van Damme in Belgium.

    Welcome to the forum Bob!

    Josh, shape is shobu-zukuri. I assume Shinto and made this way. Difficult to judge from the pics if it's worth a polish. Seems that someone starts the work and decided to leave it alone. Otherwise looks quite healthy......

    Storage

    uwe replied to md02geist's topic in Katchu

    Rob, a considerable amount of yoroi bitsu in more or less good condition are extant. Most of them from the Edo period. Only a few have been preserved since Muromachi times. To be honest, I only saw one such for sale, so far (around 200.000,-JPY)!!!

    The higaki yasurime pointing towards Mino, Yamato or Naminohira school. I like also the satsuma idea corresponding with the tsuba. Nice thought.....

    Alec, did I understand you correctly, $800-$1800?

    Chris, these are by no means imitations!!! PS: Otherwise, I promise to "eat my shorts " ...... to say it with Bart Simpson

    John and John, I agree with the reading. Both are possible, Toshinaga or Sadamune (14th century)!
