Some lucky buyer got this ANTIQUE Japanese KATANA SWORD AND WOODEN SHEAF, SIGNED TO BLADE, WITH STAND for a mere Aus $1,100. So you all missed out ....................

Can anyone help me with this translation. Using the MS Nihonto Compendium as a beginner I arrived at: ko ....? tsune tomo suke Thanks in advance.

I wish a few nice tanto would follow me home .......... Good buy Brian.

my wife refused to buy this as a Xmas present for me ..................................................

Ok, then a lot of Chinese need to be prosecuted for deliberates forgeries, luckily most as so poor that anyone with a basic sword knowledge would avoid them.

Ian I would be interested in any tanto or tanto parts that he wants to sell. I need some tanto sayas - any condition. cheers Clive
-
Wow, what a collection and so well preserved.
-
Yes. He states the mei is Goro Nyudo Masamune - Hawley MAS 590. Is it possibly Daruma Nyudo Masamune - Hawley MAS 592 ? An expert would need to study the mei on this tanto.

Here is your chance to secure this genuine gimei from our favourite eBay seller. Puzzled why they did not obtain a certificate for such an important blade ..............

A suggestion: 1st time sword owners and polish

A good idea and it will help us get a slot with a togishi -
Hi Jeremy Never tried to send a sword to the USA or Canada or UK. Have heard that there is an increase in parcel theft in the USA so be very careful of insurance etc when you find a suitable courier or postal service. cheers Clive

I need to get one of these cheap for my wife's Xmas present She has always wanted a Japanese helmet.................

Thanks for the advice, will inform you if I end up buying it.

Hi Jean I haven't bought it yet, only some photos to look at so I could easily be wrong on what metal it is made from. The metal gap filler at the end of the nakago-ana seems to be some silver alloy instead of the normally used copper. The 'green' water corrosion in one place indicates copper to me. Learning about tsuba is a world of its own on top of blade knowledge. cheers Clive
-
Can anyone advise me about this copper tsuba as I am unsure of its age and if it is Japanese made. My guess is it is 1930 - 1960 and Japanese. Thanks in advance.

Is that expensive. salmon .........................🙌

I went there a long time ago, is well worth going just for the variety of weapons on display. In its hey day the castle must have been daunting to attack, even after the outer moats were removed.

Doug We are mere custodians of Nihonto. I don't think he bought his first sword to turn it over for profit. Clive
