    I hope that this thread is still of some interest. Attached Kai gunto koshirae with interesting parts. Dunno If this is rewrapped ito or individual order with dragon menuki. Seppa looks like made as solid pair only.

    What a great find! Mountings are convincing (also assembly numbers on nakago). I was really hesistant to call my example genuine due to unusual nakago jiri. I have exactly same variation mei paired with this nakago jiri (typical more for Nagamitsu then NBTHK acknowledged genuine Emura blade). Mine also have bad tsuba swapped from particular type of replica with numbered habaki.

    In China with their seals and many items made with gold - so new reality

    Late muromachi/early Edo in my opinion. I don’t see clear jihada but maybe some late gen chiyozuru? Really dense grain. Maybe older? Nakago was shortened but jiri looks like shaped to reminiscent original. And this kissaki looks reshaped. More measurements please maybe photo with clear sugata. Overall feels like fat and healthy. Definietly worthy of appraisal.

    Seki stamp? Dunno how help here.
  7. Marcin
    @PNSSHOGUNwhat about tassel here? Looks brand new and (considering tsukamaki wear) was added later.

    @Jussi Ekholm You were into naginata?
  13. Marcin
    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
  14. Marcin
    You think this is genuine way? Not some workaround becouse leather collar was destroyed?
  15. Marcin
    It’s ww2 showato. It have showa sakura stamp. Dunno which smith. Made untraditionally in some way. T98 mounts.
  16. Marcin

    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

    Tachi koshirae

    Marcin posted a topic in Tosogu

    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?

    Marcin replied to Mike Murphy's topic in Nihonto

    Still show us entire blade with tang even if it is mumei. No seppa and habaki goes through nakago ana?
  25. Marcin
    @Tristan MacEwen If you could please add picture of yasurime near habaki of your example. Really neat and clean
