  1. @PNSSHOGUNwhat about tassel here? Looks brand new and (considering tsukamaki wear) was added later.
  2. So blade was made pre great flood 1590-1591. Great help and blade. https://markussesko.com/2013/03/12/the-great-flood-of-the-yoshii-river/
  3. @lonely panet ffs maybe you are right. https://sword-auction.com/en/product/29954/as25207-katana-hizen-koku-fujiwara-yoshikanenbthk-tokubetsu-kicho-token/ no word about „activity” in pics
  4. Wrapped under kabutogane? Someone redone tsukamaki.
  5. We have separate thread for crests only? https://www.behance.net/gallery/41878025/5000-MON-Japanese-FAMILY-CRESTS p. 274
  6. @Jussi Ekholm You were into naginata?
  7. Gunto koshirae with pinned kabutogane, crest, separate sarute barrel. Centered chuso. Tsuba was added as I saw this offered without any tsuba. But still looks like „darkened/silvered” one. Imo this was T94
  8. You think this is genuine way? Not some workaround becouse leather collar was destroyed?
  9. It’s ww2 showato. It have showa sakura stamp. Dunno which smith. Made untraditionally in some way. T98 mounts.
  10. Weren’t so called polish fakes nco made with similar numbers? But yeah looks genuine
  11. You could include seller in description. For example maybe You heard about seller komonjo? Search him in this forum.
  12. Another Emura and Nagamitsu reference from aoi
  13. Cheers https://sword-auction.com/en/product/29863/tsuba-mumei-unsigned(satsuma-nasu/
  14. Looks legit with that bohi. @Scogg could say more about if this tsuba existed in this serial range. edit. Found close example tokyo kokura http://www.guntoartswords.com/010956.html Pattern 2 = Aluminium handle - 9mm Brass tsuba - Mirrored ito. and you could learn a lot from https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/29722-type-95-gunto-worksheet/#comments
  15. Jump on this project Hamish! You live only once.

    Tachi koshirae

    https://ebay.us/m/nrvxO4 Posting it here. Ex basara item. When could this have been made? Dsn’t look like edo period. Tsuba is signed. Saya is only 70 cm deep, also tsuka looking at tsunagi nakago dsn’t have much space. Which book could actually put some light on this topic? Mr Sesko maybe have something heavy written?

  17. Still show us entire blade with tang even if it is mumei. No seppa and habaki goes through nakago ana?
  18. @Tristan MacEwen If you could please add picture of yasurime near habaki of your example. Really neat and clean
  19. Just copy/paste text and do edition?
  20. Does it have any activity at all?
  21. In my opinion saya is wooden one made for leather cover (typical robust haikan)
  22. If sword is in military mountings do thread in Military swords. If not go for translation assistance

    "Kakushitogane"

    What about horimono? Maybe someone else was doing it? Compare to other blades with bo hi of his forging
  24. Gendaito as fully traditional and showato as the rest - you can run whatever division you want and still end here. I'm adding once again division by manufacturing method.
