A Chance For A Polishing Job In Europe?
uwe replied to vajo's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
Hi Chris, I almost bet a box of "Augustiner" that these two cracks are Hagire. Anyway, I know Zénon quite well, if you have some problems to contact him. Although, for this blade, I would recommend S.Wuttke, situated in Berlin! -
I think it's definitely not a mon. Rather a stamp representing one or more kanji. Maybe a manufacturers brand?!
-
First thought it was a "Noren". But after Eric had a closer look, I agree with Dave and Eric. Nice Hata Rob!
-
Yes Eric, .....lucky day September Kaei seven (1854). Very late Edo
-
The mogami do seems to be "Myochin ki no Munekata saku". Late Edo! Struggling with right and middle row.....
-
Great examples folks. Seems we have some true artists in Europe! I know Zénon's work very well, still have some projects pending
-
Don't know if "Nagamichi" was affiliated with Kaga katchu-shi (the inome, you know...), but the kabuto is undoubtedly high end workmanship!

New Site Launch/ Facelift.... Please Take A Look
uwe replied to Nickupero's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Great looking side Nick, with nice stuff in stock. Well done! -
Rob, In Eric's first example, uketsutsu and gattari serving for fastening the cords. Instead of the agemaki no kan. On later armor's (as Malcolm already stated) the knot was used for adornment.....and preventing the ring to rattle
-
Nice little exhibition with some good armor's. Note the inside laced shikoro!
-
Ah, that's the reason why my old "kuro urushi nuri gusoku" appears brown instead!
-
Indeed, neither Fukuoka nor Edo!
-
Agree with Nick and Eric.

Count me in Uwe! -
Yep Tom. The "Ott collection". Contained very nice items! High quality and valuable things amongst! Unfortunately at auction (ca. 25% + )
-
Simon, this helmet is not well executed. The shape leaves some doubts about the Japanese origin. Following the rule: "There is no rule when it comes to Japanese armor", it seems that everything is possible. In this case though, if Japanese, then made in someone's backyard. I tend to claim, not Japanese. Adepted at best!
-
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.
-
Shape maybe leading towards "Kanbun". I think however "Shin-Shinto" (or younger)!

Question About Shipping To Germany From The Us
uwe replied to Jiro49's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
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!
