Hi, here another exemple: Sebastien

Hi Greg, It is not a moderne one, but an edo period tsuba (7.9cm diameter) that's my pictures that aren't so good. But you could enlarge it by a click on it. Please see carefully the last one, that's the matter on this tsuba. Sebastien

1700s Katana with two hagire

Hello, You are right, sorry for this mistake Sebastien -
1700s Katana with two hagire
Gunome replied to blades87's topic in Auctions and Online Sales or Sellers
Hi, Hagiri are due to the tension of steel the when the blade is quenched. Nakago is not quenched so there is no hagiri in nakago. It is just for hamon part. Of course, there is exception : suriage blade, ... BTW, an hagiri is possible below ha machi. A Hagiri is still a fatal flaw. Sébastien -
Hello, Does this shipping has a tracking number ? If so, french receiver should seen on chronopost web site what's the mater and contact them with tracking id. I already received a sword that was hold by chronopost's customs services waiting an invoice. I ask seller to send a copy by mail and forward the mail to chronopost. The parcel was cleared. If I haven't seen this matter on chonopost's site, may the parcel would be sent back to Japan. Sébastien

Hi, Nakago looks more bizen shape rather than Soshu shape Kaeri is long or is it reflection ? Thanks Sebastien -
Encore un francais ! Welcome on board Sebastien

Hi, Now I understand what namban F/K look's like. Thanks a lot Sébastien
-
Hello, I don't know to what Namban Fuchi Kashira looks like. Is it a dragon patern ? Sorry I am curious. Sebastien

Hello It is hard to read. Maybe 長金 Nagakane ??

Metal ?? I would guess paper (ishigami) but not metal ?!

Hi, Nice tsuba. For me too number 3 is owari, and I would also bid for owari on number 2, because of the sukashi work and symetric patern. But I am far to be knowledgeable on tsuba. Sebastien

Hi, May you could try to visit antic shops on hollywood road. I know there is few shops between park and escalator that sometimes have true nihonto. Maybe you would find your blade in a few days or few months? Sébastien

Hi, Thanks for your replies, which enlighted me on kinai's "not so common" works Sebastien
-
Hello, I am very surprise by this tsuba. Even if it is signed echizen ju kinai saku, and the mimi, Seppa Dai and the patina match Kinai's school, hitsu ana does not have border and does not have to Kogai ana. Moreover, it has brass/gold inlays. Does it is an uncommon work of Kinai ? Thanks Sebastien

Hello, Once in a meeting, this question was asked to a well reputed polished who reply he didn't worried about it. Not fatal for him. Just a surface matter. The hamon hasn't nioigiri on the other face. It doesn't cross the hamon such as hagiri. Sébastien

Hi, Looks like a polish work started on this blade and stoped before rusted...very strange :? Sébastien
-
Hi, Thanks for the PDF Sébastien
-
Hi Jacques, I may be wrong, but I disagree with you. Based on the bo hi on the nakago different on both side, yasurime seems to be kiri, and nakago jiri looks kiri with square cut off to roundish its, for me this sword looks like O suriage. Sebastien

Very nice set !! :D Sebastien

Hi, Nice polishing job ! Sebastien
-
Hi, I read the mei as follow : "Yamashiro kuni ju fuji". I guess "fuji" is for "fujiwara". The name of the smith was cut off. You just have the province "Yamashiro" and the title "kuni". For me the sugata looks a kanbun shinto blade. Sebastien
