  1. Why not display it (?); pride of place!
  2. Thanks for responding! Much appreciated; I ran across it because it was mentioned ( in an interview with a V&A curator) in a old documentary on Masamune; and I didn’t know such a sword was in the V&A collection.
  3. Gakusee, any thoughts on it?
  4. Anyone had a chance to examine this blade in person? Thoughts on it? https://collections....d-scabbard-masamune/
  5. Were you able to take any good photos of the swords? 👁️ 🍭 that you might share with us???
  6. Take heed in Grey's warning; once your dead they'll just deaccession your donation for something they consider 'more important' to their collecting habits (and/or taste); happened to a friend of my mine years ago.
  7. Anyone have the details on this masamune blade displayed in this austria museum exhibition 10 years ago?
  8. Good Idea; thanks!
  9. I emailed him with no response; I wonder if he is even still around!
  10. Does anyone have pictures of the tang?
  11. I do know a slightly similar design crossguard was used in WWII by the Japanese for the civilian/police.
  12. Thanks Bruce; from my limited research there isn't much information circulating on Chinese swords of this period ( at least on the internet). I wonder if this might have to do with Mao's mass extermination campaign of weapons for his steel mill plan.
  13. Can anyone give their thoughts on this sword? https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/146827176_large-antique-chinese-nationalist-republican-sword
  14. Anyone have thoughts on this sword? Quite large- early nationalist period(?). https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/146827176_large-antique-chinese-nationalist-republican-sword https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/146827176_large-antique-chinese-nationalist-republican-sword
