  1. Thx fatty tsuba is beauty here.
  2. If anyone have tsuba with dancing tanuki here you go matching menuki.
  3. Making swords was expensive. Good swords were never thrown away. Pre edo times I'm sure reforging was common practice to strenghten damaged blades after battle just to have enough weapons able to cut. Knowing nihonjin nothing went to waste.
  4. Is this stainless steel?
  5. Someone wanted to shorten it again?
  6. Same crazy shiet like with 6k$ unpapered mounted Shigetsugu 2 months ago. Peps go monkey all the time and those are peps from here I would tell. But its at the end lucky and important military piece will get good home.
  7. 5,5x7.0 cm and 0,75mm thick. Its with "frankenstein" nakago blade fit to mount them all.
  8. Was there any ritual to cleanse those weapons?
  9. Wasn't there a part in Akira Kurosawa's "Shichinin no samurai" about collecting dead soldiers weapons?
  10. Could you post more photos of mountings? Looks like cast made for crest.
  11. An egg with a cracked shell will start to stink. Enough material for 2 tanto.
  12. You are right! Look on aoi paper. Jyo jyo saku Taira Nagamori.
  13. Thx for your opinion saya looked genuine. So its great piece. @John C grab this.
  14. No arsenal mark? Prerelease show item?
  15. There was discussion about chuso location and it was debunked as type indicator.
  16. Japan is full of nationalists. There is 2,5 milion registered blades in Japan alone?
  17. Wooden saya? It could be type 94 without some parts and leather cover. If you can please give us photo of saya entry.
  18. This particular koshirae have rust spot and cut markings in area where could be mounted another haikan. Your opinion please. Its shorter sword but distance between haikan should be similar. It have open tsuba but those were used in 94 and early 98s. Chuso isnt centered.
  19. RJT Kanetoshi - Military Swords of Japan - Nihonto Message Board https://share.google/FjYi7D9z4FmMNDmdX Check this and look for star stamp. But mei looks different. More pictures of entire blade. Why it have 2 mekugi ana? Its mounted in civil koshirae now?
  20. Showato, untraditional blade.
  21. Bump for peps who dont get it yet.
  22. You have sword signed with owner details?
  23. Thx for all input. I should have bought it even as decoration I suppose.
  24. Boyz as suvenir and being nlf think about this configuration. [Convincing to potential buyer] Imagine trying to run on land with navy black belt and sword attached on 2 stripes. But basic idea was to fight with small gun in one hand and sword in the other [after using whistle or sth]
