Jdirect/yahoo auction id: m1234018830 this seller really likes to reset auctions. Acid? It’s up quite some time.

I hope that this screenshot would be of any help for You.

Thank You for opinion and link. This tsuba imo dsn’t need anything at rim so You can spot nice pattern.

If anyone can confirm atribution-translation. I didn't buy it yet I find this piece beautiful in it's simplicity. JD auction id: s1239012464

Adding 3 extra pics I got from them. Clean or cleaned yet really good reference.

I even wrote to seller week ago for better pics, yet I found that at inv. more were posted already then at liveauc. Generic-classic-even boring as this is example having nakago with all attributes of usual Emura. This example have good koshirae with open tsuba. 920£ is really good price as long as blade doesn’t have any fatal flaws which is possible looking at state of other blades offered. Notare hamon with some minor chips. Wood grain hada (itame) is visible yet shinogi-ji have many grey spots (diy rust removing?) This auction overall had good pieces - especially T3 star stamped Sukehiro with unusual tsukamaki.

True I remembered green ito only. Ultimate last stage.

I saw a lot of mon. Didn't saw anything like this.

Dropping in separate thread. I see this for some time. Mon looks like pigeon? I can't find it anywhere. Blade was "DIY refreshed" or is it fake? Would be nice to find example with fake mon. JD id: c1192088517

Does it have serial number? Even bad pineapple had it.

Steve, I’m sure You are well prepared for any zombie apocalypse even If You part with half of Your collection :] Marcin

something fresh. JD id:1238044881

@pcfarrar I know it is complete set. Could You give some more info about number of pages etc. for future reference? Page number, main topic or something? I can't find full description online. Price is crazy good so it won't last long.

New propostion. Jd id: v1233764712 plus tsuba looking like from set - matching tosogu, coming from seki stamped mounted blade.

So wait a minute how it corresponds with his story? This DIY was done after war imo and with selling in mind. Too many crosses. Is this attempt to use forum to build legend for selling?

Showato offered at Japan auction would be in 95% cut off part bro.

Another example of flag at habaki with inscription at shinogiji. Dropping here Kai gunto version. There is somewhere at forum exact same habaki example in shingunto version. Write Your thoughts. Any fittings can be real? Looks like after war invention with ija menuki and some kai gunto parts used as build for chinese fake blade.

Droping open tsuba with drill holes in boar nose spot. Saya is also modified with iron kojiri. Clear put-together mix [chuso hole] yet tsuba shows signs of wear made by biggest seppa.

I'm dropping links for american auctions, better to do separate thread in wanted to buy for some European collector to share. Maybe pics will help here. Needs authentification ofcourse link jdirect item id n1235406746 8800 yen

surprisegirl? china seller with some reselling history link

I would help finding it yet results of search for "猿手" [monkey hand] result mostly in results as attached picture is there other term to search?

I have it :D I wanted to post it beforehand but wanted to drop it in chain pm like usual. full structure here Extra for army here

These swords are so badly faked that It's typical "what is good here case". Any element isn't corresponding with genuine example - at least not in full like NCO serial yeah it have some number but where is NAgoya arsenal stamp? etc. I hoped to find exactly these blades offered recently but couldn't. Please visit http://ohmura-study.net/900.html as a scratch-start.

Last picture something for yay and nay at once. Screw shouldn’t be imo visible, yet belt have some wear and tear. I always look for something like wear at obi-tori (haikan) every gunto saya could have some canvas or leather cover yet used gunto would have wear just there.

No way You got this in Poland :] Central figure is quadrangual maybe this one? Page 108 I got one proposed by Conway, yet nothing indicates that central figure could go out of this shape.
