@Bruce Penningtonseppa, habaki? you have some wear on them.

Some pattern on leather saya cover

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.

hamachi? and ubu-ba as fresh never polished hamachi near habaki.

I thought exact same about cleaning and probably acid was used here. http://www.ksky.ne.jp/~sumie99/acid polishing.html

All gucci

volker bad section @Scoggcould you move this?

Looks like usual brass for small seppa pair.

Adding another photo. Rising sun washers and semegane are made of white non-magnetic metal which patinated green. It’s white brass?

That sekigane men. I had similar. Kogai ana was cut out in mine example. 100% cast.

For tariffs I expect all to be refundable. Anyone who payed please keep receipts. Trump was looking for another legal basis to impose tarrifs again but it would apply for new imports. All thx to some wine importer. Yet still tariffs for bananas to protect domestic production? What „banana and rice” enjoyers thought about it?
