    Gunto- military sword. It’s all about koshirae, then you can divide by sword for showato and gendaito. Royal decree’s established specifications for gunto type - mountings/koshirae
  2. Marcin
    So go for links first. Anyone else have maybe some thread about proper learning road?

    Showato with seki stamp. Kane something. In download section on forum you have nice article about stamps. Dunno how describe „standard” of gunto. One mekugi ana is a standard in 94/98 gunto type. Here you have 2 so for beginning: https://japaneseswordindex.com/showato.htm then article about stamps then for koshirae: http://ohmura-study.net/900.html then books

    Do you have any elements of mountings? Looks like it was mounted in tachi koshirae. Meiji mass production?
  6. Marcin
    Def. some not random marks probably date so tachi mei?

    Check saya if there isn’t moisture. It’s red active rust probably formed during delivery. Isoprophyl alcohol 99%?

    Dunno if this is main thread about Shodai Kawashima but I would like to add 2 more examples of his work. http://www.jp-sword.com/files/blade/tadayoshi/tadayoshi.htm and from recent auction (I hope that community would get a chance to admire this blade after restoration.

    If you could please add some pictures of your example. We could with ease create here online oshigata for all smiths.

    This sword? Kissaki looks odd. Ikubi or not ask for boshi close-up

    Nice koshirae with mon at menuki. This seller had some items Canada based if I remember correctly. Don’t wish for a gift from longtime seller His current ebay listings are placed in Japan :/
  14. Marcin
    In many of those auctions he is first bidder. Dunno how many he won but it’s easy to change name at aoi so why shill would work under same name? He looked like collector.

    Fine translation
  16. Marcin
    Shouldn’t weight be higher? 544g with 68 nagasa is scary
  17. Marcin
    I would like to point that current newest print (2017) have 370+ pages comparing to 350+ in 1995 (1997print) edition dunno what was added
  18. Marcin

    Is there a way to put timer on downloadable file with edition restriction? For example: -file is readible for couple months -you can’t make a copy of it? How ebooks are protected? asking here not in gold membership tab

    You have done a lot of research. I thought about combined work with all done in previous articles. Like Slough’s Mantetsu pages.
  23. Marcin
    Here you go
  24. Marcin
    What about making some articles available only for long term subscribers? Imo NCO 95 guide and some kind of oshigata compilation would do the trick. And I know some kind of guide is in the making. @Bruce Pennington @Scogg have You thought about cooking something? Slough’s second edition was printed 20 years ago
  25. Marcin
    You had this one? @Bruce Pennington https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1G1xE8DzW6/?
