Appreciated!!

Thank you. Took two breaths Edited as to not create strife...

Lost in translation I think?

He isn't a tsuba collector and I've helped him with swords in the past. I assumed the bottom one was Higo, but the first one escaped me in all areas except "sukashi" I assumed they are worth about 300 each so I was happy! And thank you for the info!!!

These walked into my friends shop and I got them for 400.00 for the pair. I like them but I know nothing about them Any and all info appreciated

I've used a sonic on a couple iron pieces add in chicken bone and a toothbrush and they came out pretty nice...

How can you start a case when its international? To personally go after him you have to file in California where he resides. If done through his website, it might be ,a different story? I know the dollar amount involved is way over 300.00.

Hello, they are definitely not nihonto. That said they make great cutters (tameshigiri) and have a pretty big following. For 100.00 yes you're in the black! Regards,

A timid neophyte guess... The gold section was added later?

If the wife is cool with it and you have the cash set aside, go for it! My son received a boys sword when he turned 5 last year. My wife thinks I'm strange even though her moms family were samurai??? Again, if you love swords and buke culture why not! BTW, congrats!

27.7" koto signed bungo kuni takada ju nagamori saku and dated 02/1565.

The saya is metal green gloss. I just read this in another thread "made in Manchuria, as it was considered a separate country by the Japanese, (even after they occupied and 'colonized' it) they used a 15 and a 20 Stamen Plum Blossom instead of the traditional 5 Petal Cherry Blossom." I just have never seen this style of sakura on gunto koshirae before..?

Ill preface this by saying I know very little about shin-gunto koshirae! I have a question regarding the quality of this mounting and the fact that it has no numbers or stamps? The tsuba is huge, this is the first time Ive seen one this thick, the seppa are all nice quality. The nanako is very good and the sakura have more detail than most. The tsuka has a very pronounced sori which I have seen before but on presentation swords during the war. Thank you in advance!

A few more..

Does anyone have info or oshigata of any bungo Takada nagamori working during Eiroku? I have one signed "Bungo kuni takada ju nagamori saku" dated " Eiroku hachi nen" 1565. Missing the "Taira" which is also not helping. Thanks in advance!

Wakizashi are less common in modern times, if that is what you are asking..? Also you may want to add your real first name and initial per the board rules. If not me someone else would have brought it to your attention. Regards,

A quick question regarding old papers. Are there certain years of old papers that are still considered valid, as in believable enough not to warrant new papers if the work confirms the attribution? Thank you.
-
Yes count the first year as one.

Nice people, have communicated many times! -
I didn't want to seem cold, but I agree with Mr.Bowen! 8 months no sword and if you look at the Facebook link where they were taking donations for the funeral arrangements that would worry me as well... I would expect a mourning period but business is business. I feel I should qualify this by saying I'm very jaded
