Hi, By coincidence I found that my friend has a very rare Edo period Koshirae that perfectly fits one of my blades for sale. I'm posting this nice package for sale. My asking price is 4500$ (free shipping from Poland). Koshirae is IMO quite rare design, crawfish theme Aikuchi, in a very decent condition (original, Edo period). Comes with Tsunagi, sword has Shirasaya. Shigetsugu blade is in perfect condition (not a single ware) and polish. Details about sword+pics+video: https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/53182-tosa-shigetsugu-with-nbthk/#comment-564347

850$ + free shipping.

Nagasa and Nakago also suggest this one to be Katateuchi IMO. Beautiful sword, if I could only afford it ... new owner will be lucky indeed.

They were buried in Edo (Tokyo), correct? According to books/movies not only drawing, but also cutting/wounding Kira. That one Wakizashi out there which is more expensive than Katana

@BugyotsujiThanks! I envy you so much for having possibility to be there. These are very nice blades, Bizen, Hizen, not a cheap Kaze-uchi-mono I would expect. Question is, are these the swords they took for final battle, or are these the ones they had with them during Seppuku ...

Mumei, Aoi mokkō-gata with nanako-ji and sukidashi-bori. Paulownia box and NBTHK included. Measurements: 67 mm x 62 mm x 3,5 mm My asking price is 900$ but also open to offers. Located in Poland EU.

Still available, I'm open to offers.

Hi, Can you please post more pictures and measurements?

Yes please I wonder if these swords are masterpiece alike or more like Kazu-uchi-mon. You might be right.

Hi, Digging out the topic. Any have pictures of the swords which are on the display? @Bugyotsuji?

BUMP Looking for money, so open to offers. If you would like to have Kunitsugu please make an offer via PM. Thanks!

I love the Mei, is this even Kanji/Chinese characters? Looks more like Predator marks

Damn you, that is a steal!

Here we go again. I think you have a template with that reply, don't you Jacques? PS. Just to be clear Jacques, stating "it is Gimei in MY opinion" is way different than stating "IT IS Gimei" ... Cheers! @Tim Evans Maybe I think it will be better if you post more pictures. Members can judge attribution based on the blade and not only based on the Mei.

Hi, IMHO it is not Nihonto.

Yes, Poland, EU.

Hello, I'm looking for budget/cheap Fuchi/Kashira/Menuki for my Iaito. Not necessarily a set, but should be matching more or less (same theme or colors etc...). I want to match it with black Iron Mokko Gata Tsuba with pine tree theme. Please PM me with what you have, thank you.

Hi, More pictures and a video located here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1PTtwjETJ3R_MWxyH2Iv2ONK1uYUXLqk4?usp=sharing Perfect condition and Japanese polish, very rare sword/smith, located in EU so no taxes/custom if bought in Europe. My asking price is 4000$ ($ rate change).

After checking on Norimitsu's work I wish that this sword to be his. But I don't think so. It is another MITSU (readable part of Mei). Anyway, I guess no one wants to have a healthy, in good polish, Ubu, with Bohi and perfect (Edo fittings and Tsuba) Koshirae, Koto Bizen Osafune blade. Sword stays with me.

Like in my example. Roger honestly gave up on judging if it is genuine 3rd Tadayoshi or Gimei. He can't be sure, especially without having sword in hands. On the other hand @Jacques gave his Gimei judgment based on few pictures, so ... And mistakes (both giving a paper or call it Gimei) may happen, right?
