    Minimum listing alone. It would be easiest to do. Also no drama with possible bugs and mistakes with summary made via site. You can always save summary usual way.

    For collectors? Easy. Quick „save as pdf” button? Not going through print as pdf in version for pc. It happens that you don’t have internet all the time…

    Wow what else did I miss during last 2 months? Crazy good. I checked on tablet and even greater experience. @Hoshi do You use any ai?

    I want to encourage anyone who still didn’t get his copy to leap at this opportunity.

    Thank you! It looks like museum grade with fresh polish but 2 mekugi ana so koshirae not original for a blade. Or we have first example for deliberate 2 mekugi ana in T98. 11 nagashi? Should be 9, 12 or 15?
  6. Marcin
    Dunno If we had this example. No. 72212 adv. as matching numbers and original. https://ebay.us/m/S5QgZ7

    Start another thread in „general nihonto releated discussion” with actual photos of entire blade. This is thread for military stamps.

    Bonji? https://swordsofjapan.com/nihonto-library/Japanese-bonji/ (And it’s wrong thread for writing translation) What do you mean by style?

    It is most copied tsuba I saw :] that’s why sekigane is right away warning. Believe Me I stopped saving those knock-offs, simply way to much of them

    He had one [Blue hardcover] for around 280$ and is long sold. I'm linking thread about all 3 editions printed I probably could assemble this book from all pics available online :]
  11. Marcin
    Oh I have white already and I went for green today :] For dirks there is separate book by Banks.

    What is legal status of these websites? Do they have permit to use copyrights? I red on reddit about lawsuits towards these type of virtual library. In States protection lasts 70 years after death of writer?

    @Scoggjust in case we will have proof for those unfinished ones being genuine I'm posting here another set "kanesada" t98 Item description "Shin Guntō Sword, model 98, with 16th century blade, signed "Kanesada", reused in World War II" Tsuka with snake skin? habaki shortened?

    Guys is there any added value if I have already Japanese Military and Civil Swords and Dirks to buy MILITARY SWORDS OF Japan 1868-1945 By Richard Fuller & Ron Gregory? These books have exact same info or they complement each other? I see some diferences on pages I found e.g. wakase page from "greenbook"
  15. Marcin
    @PNSSHOGUNbut we wonder if those crude parts are genuine.
  16. Marcin
    Fuller & Gregory page 66. It’s hard to remember all pictures.

    @Vampyres @Scogg simply said that we are "dumpster divers" :D Those marks on nakago looking like welding couldn't be done by loose tsuba ratling. I'm adding closeups of this nakago area and as a reminder that all can happen photo of nakago made to "mount them all" [from gunto koshirae]

    Tsuba with scratches is from Sam's extra set.

    oil went 50% up in a month. Whatever you have to ship do it now.

    Yes Steve, for me it lookjed like [sho stamp] saku :] and I thought about those fittings - they looked so bad that no one trying to create a fake would accept that in my opinion. Maybe it was hastily put together from parts as last stand effort? It was better to give this as a functional weapon or leave someone unarmed? Look on mekugi ana, rust etc. even yasurime is consistent. Ofcourse better not to buy this :] Nagasa below 24 inch.

    @Bruce Penningtonseppa, habaki? you have some wear on them.
  22. Marcin
    Some pattern on leather saya cover
  23. Marcin
    Menuki rooster, some writing on sarute

    Legit until proven otherwise. Many interesting features with some imprint on saya leather cover https://www.ebay.com/itm/376287779847?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20250417133020%26meid%3Db918e1ff3fdd4d3ca0b743dcc8ee6584%26pid%3D102726%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D376287779847%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2DWebWithPSItemDRV2_BP&_trksid=p4375194.c102726.m162918

    If nakago wasn't altered what about inconsistent yasurime? I wonder could this be forgery or muromachi blade repurposed for gunto fittings by machi okuri. Funniest option would it be if this is originally Bizen sword with fake Mino Seki signature.
